VHS fine on tv noisy on my computer

[Dude_Son]

Ok im trying to capture a VHS tape that plays fine on my tv screem, but when I hook up to my ATI AIW 9000 pro its "VERY" jumpy. its a copy of a old film... Ive never had any problems with backing up my VHS tapes. I tried using my "video stabilizer" which helps a lil but is still jumpy. why is it doing this? is there anything I can do? I dont wanna buy a expensive TBC.

thanks

I found certain older video dont come out too well when capturing due to being a marginal poor picture,on tv its fine but it looses its cohesion in capture,without a tbc there`s not much you can do,maybe try another vcr.

da gone it, I was afraid of that. I have tried 3 VCR's so far. this sucks! hmm, so how much is the cheapest TBC?

[johns0]

Not sure but ive seen others here quote $200 and up.

One thing to try is play the tape through you TV and use the monitor out of the TV(if you have one) to feed the capture card.

I find that this often stabilizes the video.
