2x VHS Encoding

[qkak]

I do capture from VHS tape to digital. I have heard rumor of a 2x VHS player, but I have not been able to verfiy the existance. What I really want is a "setup" where I can capture regular VHS tapes at 2x real time. Obviously there are a number of implications here, but does anyone know of such a thing?

TIA.

I highly doubt it, even if there is, you'd only get half of the frames, since NTSC only allows 29.97 frames per second, and you'd have to take your captured video and slow it down, which would give you about 15 frames per second.

Some things you can't do any faster, and video capturing is one of them.

I think the point would be that if your A->D device connected via firewire, it is just transferring the file - it doesn't actually capture it per se. I would think it could transfer @ 59.94 frames per second, so that when you slow it down, it fixes itself. Interesting concept but I can't say I've heard of its existence.

I want a lot of things. Too bad most of them will never happen.
Add this to your list.
