PC to DV Camera to VCR

[raceman3]

I downloaded some Video via firewire & ULVS to my pc which works fine and plays fine on the PC. The problem I have is when I export it back to the camera and try to dump it from there to VHS tape. The picture quality is poor and the audio is choppy. If I use digital stills in ULVS and create an AVI, export it to my DV Camera, and record it to VHS both the pictures and the audio I added play fine. Same tapes in both camera and VCR. I normally record to DVD but I had a request for a VHS version of the video. Any idea why the video avi is having problems when I put it back on the DV camera? The only encoding difference is the stills use DV Video Encoder Type 1 and the video I used DV Encoder Type 2

I would say your easiest solution would be to dub it to VHS off the DVD you created. Just hook up the Video and audio RC jacks and dub away.

Interestingly enough there is a bug in ULVS 7 that creates this problem. They have a patch to resolve it, I applied the patch and now the software no longer recognizes my camera. Upgraded to version 8 and now it sees my camera, the video quality problem is fixed but the audio tends to crack or pop. Works fine when recorded to dvd
