How can you avoid luminance halows on VHS and RCA?

[anonymoustly]

Or is there no way to avoid that?

Even on the screen, not only at capturing.

It helped someone to lower sharpness, but ofcourse that is not what i want.

The sharpener in the VCR causes those haloes. Turn it off. Sharpen in software where you have much more control and many options.

One effective solution to reduce luminance halos on VHS and RCA is to use a video processor or a TBC. These devices can stabilize and clean up the video signal, minimizing artifacts like halos. They're designed to handle the quirks of analog video signals, improving overall picture quality without compromising sharpness like adjusting sharpness settings might.
