AmarecTV doesn't record beginning?

[Jokris]

Hello

When I record with AmarecTV I first turn on the record button and wait about 15 seconds before I press play on the 8mm camcorder.

However, when comparing the tapes with the digitized result (Lagarith) I notice that there are still several seconds missing from the beginning of the tape.

Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I might have missed?
Do you experience this problem and how do you address it?

wait about 15 seconds before I turn on the 8mm camcorder.

Did you mean before I hit play on the 8mm camcorder?

Yes, exactly

I never experienced that, but I normally start a capture while the device is playing a blank section of the tape at the beginning of a recording. I will remove the unwanted noisy blank portion in post processing.

After how long (seconds) do you usually start capturing on AmarecTV after you started playback on the camcorder?

Do you use DNR in camcorder when playing or only do denoise while post-processing?

Just few seconds. I see the "noise pattern" in the preview windows, count a couple of seconds, and start capturing before the real recorded video arrives.

When possible I disable all NR features in the players and denoise in post-processing, which is more effective and produces more qualitative results.
