    Hi TEFP,

    I'm no expert as I don't do VHS caps, but I remember reading that one way was to use a bit of kit called a "Time Base Corrector (TBC)". There may well be other ways...

    Head over to lordsmurf's site (he's a moderator here) - www.digitalfaq.com - as he's into that kinda stuff and you may well find the answer there.

    Good luck.
    There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

    Carpe diem.

    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

    Some people have recommended DVD Red Pro as a solution.

    MCM electronics sells digital video stabilizers for $20 plus shipping. I've been using one for over a decade, it works fine.
