    OK, I need help on this, I don't have time to search it by myself right now.
    Since it has to do with the capture and take place before the encoding, I believe this is the right forum section to post it.

    I have some really - really bad VHS tapes, with tracking problems. It is impossible to do anything to fix that (the problem was a problematic VCR the first place!). I also happens to have a good SVHS VCR, with built in TBC, antinoise filters, etc

    So, I had an idea: Because of this state of the art VCR , I can play those bad tapes at 2X speed. That way, the picture is stable on the screen and many of those tracking problems lines etc disapears.

    Now, I wanna ask: Which you thing is the best way to capture this source at this (double) speed and which are the technicks to slow down half to normal speed?

    I believe that with avisynth and DGBob() version 1.6.0 you can do this somehow, but honestly, I search for virtualdub solutions (or, if neccessary a avisynth ready scrip to do this...)

    One idea I have to do it, is to capture at 50 ftp and with avifrate patch to 25 ftp (I'm PAL). I didn't test this yet...
    Another one, is to make the fields act like frames. How I can do this? I honestly don't remember!

    Any propositions, suggestions, tips, tricks, technicks, etc, are very - very welcome!

    Place the entire captured file on the timeline in Adobe Premiere 4.2 and up

    Right click the stream in the VIDEO TIMELINE WINDOW and choose SPEED
    if the original is 29.97fps, choose 14.9fps
    If its 30fps (VHS) choose 15fps

    After rendering Upper field first, you'll be on speed

    Later versions of Premiere use % so 50% would be the entry there

    and while youre here, If its 6.0 or higher..you can make the MPEG-2 right in premiere 6.0 needs a plug in, 6.5 has it built in but it needs free online registration (once) to work

    Thank you dcsos, I didn't know that.
    In the matter of fact, I never installed Adobe Premiere. I must have a version shipped with my agp card (asus 7700 deluxe). Must be Premiere 5. I'll see what I can succeed with it.

    Any other thought for the subject? Other alternatives? Other technicks?

    Thanks in advance!
