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:
the capturecard is a MSI TV@ANYWHERE PCI, lspci output: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
My os is debian squeeze with kde4, 2.6.32-trunk-686Code:00:0c.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder [1131:7133] (rev d1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

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.Last edited by lordsmurf; 28th Jun 2010 at 21:05. Reason: typo - "drivers"
