thanks Neuron. I take back every nasty thing I've ever thought about you.
(I actually meant the DVD recorder having a TBC, but I think the answer is no for that). -

I've seen recorders with TBC like Panasonic. Those are reather weak too.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

I've been very patient and have tried several DVD recorders.
Thank you Lordsmurf for sharing your knowledge with us. -
Aside to Lordsmurf: I just noticed something from your site.
What I was complaining about earlier, and described as right directed smearing along the top of the frame on my VHS transfers.. well, on your site, under the "Capture Guide - VCR & TBC Suggestions" you show a cartoon picture (bottom set of two), one with TBC on and one without. The one with the TBC on shows EXACTLY the kind of problem I'm getting on about a third of my tapes! You called it a "video tearing" problem and described it as being rare.
Well, I wish it was rare! When I went through my Toshiba VCR for the transfers, I had much less (but still some) of these "video tearing" occurances.
So, for whatever it's worth, or, in case anybody was wondering just what I was carrying on about, that picture shows the exact problem I've been having with this JVC combo recorder. -
That only happens on a certain kind of error. Sometimes it is caused by the JVC. Sometimes by a capture card. Sometimes by a TBC. I really do not know what EXACTLY is the problem, but I know the end effect and how to try and avoid it.
This is why I keep a SHARP VHS VCR on hand. If the error is hardware-caused, and not an error embedded in the signal, this will normally fix it.
It may be your tv set even, or wires. Any number of combinations caused this. Your source is damaged, and this is where corrections can do more harm than good.
Good luck is all I can say. It's a difficult issue to work with, sometimes you must filter and just crop it out with software encodes.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

I was considering picking up the higher quality JVC 9911 VHS to see if that would help, but now I'm wondering if I should try another brand instead (Sharp). And even a different DVD recorder brand. -
A new recorder won't help/ It will always happen with that tape. It is damaged.

well, ok then.
I've decided to pick up the JVC 9911 VCR though, just to see what kind of difference it may or may not make.
thanks again. -

New (?) review of the LiteOn 5005 here...
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Articles/Specific.asp?ArticleHeadline=LiteOn+LVW%2D500...ries=0&index=1
On topic because it has a pic of the LSI chip. -
The LiteOn has some annoyances not found on the JVC. I have the 5001 mostly as a PAL player and a recorder from SVHS sources I made myself.
Even with a heatsink and fans running hard across it, with vents holes, the aluminum case still gets pretty warm.
I needed something for +RW discs and under $250 for that room.
It's giving me some jitter issues on a few old tapes I didn't make (about 1 out of 5), so it's not a perfect solution for everybody. It's fine on cable, broadcast and SVHS so far. The JVC is far better all-around. LiteOn is trying to get that corrected in the next firmware, appears to be mishandling of interlace, as well as bad MV usage (even when its turned off).
The 5001 and 5005 are pretty much the same machine.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Folks - I've been following this discussion on the JVC standalone players and have learned a lot.
I do need some advice, though. I'm looking to convert VHS tapes to compressed files, like Divx or similar. I do want the benefits of the JVC like TBC and Color Correction, but I'm not really interested in making DVD's - I just want the collection of files to live on a giant hard drive; which I'll eventually stream to a TV.
Do you folks recommend the JVC for this or something else?
Thanks,
MW -

A few questions for those with a JVC DRM10SL...
...can the DV input (4-pin FW) accept input from a computer (i.e., not a camcorder, but via FW using "output to tape" from a NLE program)?
What kind of DVD menus/chapters can it produce on a DVD-R?
And, can its TBC be used via pass-thru (i.e., VCR>JVC>A-to-D>PC)? -

GregN, did you ever get the 9911 and compare it to your other VCRs? I'd be curious to hear the results of this test.
Also does anyone think there is an advantage to using the VCR on which the material was recorded... I've noticed that the PQ on the TV always seems a little better if I use the machine that recorded the tape to play the tape. I wonder if the use of the "original" machine + a good TBC would meet or beat the quality of the 9911.
Thanks, nm -

The 9911 just came in yesterday, so too soon for me to form impressions yet.
One problem though..
Are you supposed to be able to hook up s-video cords to the JVC 9911 & the JVC DR-MV1? The connections are there, but when I've tried, the dvdr states that there is no signal. I tried recording anyway, and I get sound but no picture.
I know it's highly questionable if you would get a better result on VHS transfers via s-video, but I wanted to try nonetheless. I just can't figure out what's wrong. Any ideas?
oh, and I think I've got the input/output connections right (at least the same ones are working for composite video, i.e., L1 inputs on dvdr & then the a/v outputs on the vcr). -
But WAIT.. there's more!
another problem that I'm befuddled by.
I can no longer edit my video on this dvdr. I go to the Navigation screen, highlight the segment that I want to work on (wanting to chop off some extra footage), but the "edit" and "protect" buttons on the bottom right corner of the screen are now faint/unavailable to choose.
These two buttons were available to choose before, but now they are not and I can't figure out why. The manual doesn't seem to help. And I don't think I've done anything radical from the time it was working/available and now. I also tried unplugging the unit for a while and still nothing. And no, the discs I am using are the same as before, plus, none of them are finalized. -

Do you think it's worth the effort for VHS transfers? Have you noticed any difference w/ s-video connections?? -

You can only use the EDIT & PROTECT options on a DVD-RW in the VR Mode or on a DVD-RAM. You can not use them on DVD-R or with a DVD-RW in the VIDEO Mode.
