Video DVR DC60-008 - The picture is distorted

[ciapus4]

Hello, I bought the above-mentioned video grabber, I installed what was there from the cd, I connected the SONY CCD-TR490E PAL camera in order to download the content to a laptop with windows 10 and the image shown in the picture appears, I also tried on others programs, VCL, virtual dub, unlead video studio and the same, I changed PAL systems, resolutions, etc., etc., which may be the cause of this situation, I also changed the cable.

Maybe that DVR encrypts the video. Most do.

Well seeing the actual error pic might help.


But I suspect that video grabber is just an easycap >> easycrap << clone (DC60 is the clue here). Some work. Most do not.

Junk hardware, junk software with no frame synchronizer, Try AmarecTV or Vdub they have frame sync functionality in a form of adding or dropping frames. But it may not fix that half frame syndrome, it is usually a hardware issue, the VBI is so corrupt from the tape it cannot lock on it.

Edit:

Does the camcorder have line TBC feature? If so turn it on and see what happens.

Connect the camcorder to a TV. What is the picture like?

Same as in the camera preview

OK, then sorry to say but the camcorder is broken.
If the tapes were originally recorded with Sony equipment it may be a good choice to look out for another used Sony camcorder for playback.

My advice would be to get a Digital8 camcorder and digitize the tapes via DV/Firewire rather than that video grabber. PAL DV is not bad at all and you can be sure a Digital8 camcorder with TBC does a reasonably good job of digitizing.
