Note in the last pic there’s a bit more detail in the forehead compared to the Honestech capture due to the lack of brightness?Īnyways I mentioned I tested a few other EyeTVs. Elgato Video Capture, which I tried at one point but ultimately sold, gave me the same effect. The main bugger about this was the ‘overlap’ the exported video gave me (why I had started this thread on FanRes ) and the Universal tapes had the bright washed out look. Just to back up a bit the first video capturing software I had tested was Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0.
Also the image above does not have the same geometry as my friends capture (note that his has more image on the sides). Not perfect perhaps but definitely better than the '09 EyeTV. I captured my '92 SW Trilogy recently with DVC100 and they aren’t that low in quality nor have the washed out look. However, quality wise the '09 EyeTV Hybrid is much poorer compared to both DVC100 and the EyeTV my friend captured with. It has this very washed out and bright look which for me doesn’t look very good. This is basically the same look the 2008 Dazzle (DVC100) I’ve been using lately has been giving me when I try to do my Universal Monster tapes. Here’s a grab from a DVD I burned using a video recorded with that tuner. I even tried a few other EyeTVs (Hybrids, 250, HD) and even tried Elgato Video Capture and all gave me varying results but not exactly to the look and quality my friend had.
Why is this? The actual quality that the videos my friend captured, aside from being a bit pixilated, I was very pleased with and have been trying eagerly to replicate but have not. The sound is fine, the video not so much. Here’s from a video I had captured using EyeTV Hybrid (this was the same exact tape my friend captured).Īs you can see very fuzzy and grainy. This first grab comes from a DVD he burnt. At some point I even purchased the same tuner again on the possible chance perhaps my tuner was broken. I asked him at one point maybe 3 or 4 years ago if I could perhaps try his tuner instead but he informed me it broke. I’ve even talked about this with him and even he’s puzzled. However whenever I use this tuner to capture VHS’, regardless of the VCR being used, I do not get the same results as him.
The tuner I have/had was the one pictured below and according to my friend it was the same tuner he had. About 6 years ago I started trying out EyeTV myself. Any chance anyone here has used any Elgato products, EyeTV Hybrid to be specific? The reason I ask is because about 8 or 9 years ago I for about 3 years had a friend copy some of my Universal Monster tapes to DVD. I posted about this on FanRes and so figured I’d post here as well.
