captured video has noisy background

[theant81]

Hey there
I am using the Dazzle DVC 80 to capture some of my old chinese series tapes. Just bought a dvd burner and would like to transfer all the videos to dvd for longetivity. I found out that all of the captured video has noisy background on it. It sounds like static, but I am not very sure either. Any solution to this?

Using Win XP Pro SP1 and the included MovieStar software to capture.

Thanks in advance

Dazzled DVC 80 and old chinese tapes = excellent recipies for noises.
It's expected.

any solutions? Do you think I should purchase another capture hardware? Looking for all sort of suggestions. Thank you for your response.

ktnwin already told you: your source sucks. You can't make bad source better. Garbage in = garbage out. Run some noise filters during final encode, and it should help. That's really the only option you have. These cards don't do magic.

this is probably because you are capturing at bit rate 48,000 hrz , at 44,000 you wont get that much of a hiss sound. the only problem is that 48k is the dvd standard and some authorizing software to burn dvd'rs wont let you.
try capturing at 44k and re-encode to 48k after with other software
