  1. Ok so i got the AVT-8710 from BH

    Unfortunatly i am still dropping frames occasionally but it at least is giving me a constant signal.

    ANyway i have just tried some tapes from 1989 and results are not good.

    The AVT-8710 TBC is stuggling, i think.

    I am getting on capture freezing or ghosting....
    Is this the TBC not handling the tape?

    Would the Datavideo TBC-1000 do any better?
    It is really annoying not being able to capture these 8mm tapes..
    It seems to be capturing but u can see on the preview window that its stopped and when i play the avi file it stutters and ghosts,,

    any ideas?

  4. So it does not do this all the time but enough that it is way annoying and unwatchable!
    I personally thought it was the TBC due to the fact that before i used it the tape was uncapturable and now it is.,.. sortof
    and second due to some reviews saying:

    "A semi-con is that it doesn't just fix the bad part of the picture like more expensive TBCs, it freezes the entire frame, so when things get bad with your picture it will 'freeze' on the last good frame until it finds the next good one (like half a second later, usually), and your recording will have a 'ghost' image quality to it."

    I am now looking and asking around if a more expencive/prosumer TBC will improve my results or help.
    my chipset is Intel P67 on ASUS P8P67 Delux MOBO
