Video capture software mac for diamond manual#
I used other VCRs in the past that had manual tracking on them (which seemed to do a much better job), but I no longer have them. As far as I know there is no way of manually tracking the picture. The player I'm using is a relatively modern VCR, which is a Sony RMT-V406 with an auto tracking system built in. Some of the tapes start off fine, then gradually start to jump to a point where you can't tell what's on the screen. Unless you have a really good player that can manually track the picture (enough so that the image is stabilized and not jumping all over the place), then it's very difficult to do anything about it. Quite alot of the tapes are quite poor quality through ware and tear over the years and will often jitter or jump some play better than others. The tapes I am converting were all recorded in SP mode, but I don't think being in LP rather than in SP would make any difference. But I don't think this would make much difference. Yes the majority of the VHS tapes I am in the process of digitising were recording on a different VHS recorder than what I'm now using the original player used I no longer have. On launching Debut, it says "This is a demo version of Debut Video Capture software for evaluation use", but I heard that Debut is a freeware program.

I have tried Debut capture on a newer laptop with the drivers installed, but Debut keeps displaying the "no valid capture device could be found" message. Wondering why I don't use the Arcsoft program? it's because when I capture tapes (home videos) that are of poor quality and contain alot of jumping, the software incorrectly detects what it thinks is copy protected material and stops recording.

I have tried other software mentioned on here, such as Captureflux, but that doesn't seem to work either. I don't think it's an issue with the drivers because the device still works with the program that came with the USB capture device (which is Arcsoft Showbiz). However, for some reason now Debut won't detect the signal from the capture device I have connected via USB from the VHS recorder (via a scart-composite cable) to the USB port on my laptop. I have used Debut video capture in the past and it seemed to do the job, though the settings seem a little complicated.

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good and easy to use free video capturing software that is ideally suited for capturing video from a VHS recorder/tape, preferably for a laptop?.
