  1. HI,
    I'm trying to acquire from a home vhs (recorded from tv) to put into a dvd, but even if tvtime and xawtv show me without any noise, once recorded into a file with mencoder, a player (vlc kmplayer)shows some noising lines, as if the vhs was damaged, but it wasn't!!!
    I attached some images to let you better understand.
    My mencoder command is:
    Code:
    mencoder tv:// \
       -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=1:norm=pal:adevice=/dev/dsp2:amode=1 \
       -ovc raw -oac pcm \
       -o tv_nox.avi
    the capturecard is a MSI TV@ANYWHERE PCI, lspci output:
    Code:

    Don't panic just yet. We have some dedicated Linux members here, but they may take a day or two to respond. That type of noise looks suspiciously like noise from the VHS tape itself, not something that software has added. Your original player software may have ignored the noise frames. But just guessing.

    When you encode/transcode a video file, it has to be 100% perfect. Players can ignore some errors.

    But standby.

    That's not tape noise -- those are artifacts by the capture card/device.
    I've seen this when using the wrong BT8x8 drivers on BT cards.

  7. I think Smurf is right. A different capture device should work better.
