whatever. I read all the posts that I saw. the three posts that I missed weren't even directed at me. lordsmurf and karma were debating and helping each other about things above my level comprehension. If you aren't feeling warm and fuzzy, you don't have to be here. You are not required to respond or insult.
I'm only interested in constructive responses. If you can't provide that, I'll figure it out on my own or with the help of the people here that are helping me. I think I am showing appreciation the best way I can. If there were a like button or a thank button, I would use it too. I may not be an expert here, but a background in Physics, Engineering, and Computer science, plus the wide internet will provide. I just find it more practical and so much easier to ask people who do know. And I appreciate their insights because they are providing insights from experience and understanding that would take me a long time to acquire on my own.

Quote: " the three posts that I missed weren't even directed at me" . . . ? Of course they were directed at you - it's your bloomin' thread! Unless the posts stray into religion or politics then there's quite likely useful info in there, such as the links to a guide for setting up Virtualdub for capture and improving the chances of keeping the audio in sync . . .
Quote: "I just find it more practical and so much easier to ask people who do know.

You might do even better if you actually bothered to read those insights that they took the time to write for you in your thread!
Anyway, rant over. Let us know how you get on with Vdub. Don't forget to have a look at Virtualdub2 (formerly Virtualdub FilterMod) as it is still being developed. Have fun! -
I have been struggling for years with audio sync issues with my customers VHS.
Those VHS are often recorded in LP so I need to capture 5 hours at once. I use Lagarith for video and no compression for audio (native 48khz 16bit stereo)
I have been unable to capture any video without audio desync. I have tried for months every possibility under VirtualDub (timing settings, etc..) and tried every advice and all the tutorials i could find (audio latency determination on "Fixed" with 0 ms, "Do not resync between audio and video", etc,etc) . I have bought a TBC with 2 different capture cards, then I tried a professionnal low latency Behringer sound card. But it always failed : the audio always loose sync, even with 0 frames dropped. I even got in touch with the guy in charge of VirtualDub2, but still no solution.
Then someone told me that AmaRec was working flawlessly, far better than virtualdub for audio issues. But this program is discontinued, and I get several error messages after installing it.
Then I tried vMix, and it works like a charm. No frames drop, and no desync. I can use Lagarith in YUY2, and it manages multiple capture cards. 5 hours VHS without any desync : a miracle for me... and no need to resync manually with Avidemux or Adobe Premiere.
Here is my personnal experience. -
What is the best of VirtualDub2 og AmarecTV?
ChatGPT:
VirtualDub2 and AmarecTV are both powerful tools for capturing and processing video, but each has different strengths depending on your needs.
VirtualDub2
Advantages:
Open-source: Free and continually updated by the community.
Extensive format support: Handles a wide range of video codecs and formats.
Editing features: Basic video editing capabilities (cutting, trimming, etc.) are integrated.
Filtering: Supports various video filters for processing captured footage.
Batch processing: You can process multiple files at once.
Disadvantages:
User interface: Can feel outdated or less intuitive for beginners.
Limited real-time capture control: Not as optimized for live capture compared to AmarecTV.
Fewer capture-specific options: Better for post-processing than live video capture.
AmarecTV
Advantages:
Real-time capture optimization: Specifically designed for capturing video streams, especially from older formats like VHS.
Lower latency: Excellent for live capture with minimal lag.
Integrated filters: Built-in filters to improve video quality during capture.
Deinterlacing options: More robust deinterlacing options for analog video capture.
Support for multiple codecs: Allows using various codecs, including lossless options like Lagarith, during capture.
Disadvantages:
Not open-source: While free, it is not open-source like VirtualDub2.
Fewer editing features: Primarily designed for capturing, with limited post-processing abilities.
Windows-only: Doesn't support other platforms like Linux.
Conclusion:
Best for real-time capture: AmarecTV excels in live capture, particularly from analog sources (like VHS) with better latency control and integrated filtering.
Best for post-processing: VirtualDub2 is superior for post-capture editing and processing due to its wide range of supported formats and editing features.
For VHS conversion specifically, AmarecTV might be a better choice due to its optimized capture options, especially when paired with high-quality capture cards and codecs. VirtualDub2 is great for further refining and editing the captured footage afterward. -
Apart from the first two sentences in the Conclusion, almost all the rest is a load of codswallop.
I really should stop posting stuff on topics that are 6 years old! -
