In fact it would be a major disadvantage, as you would then have to transport it to a PC and re-encode it.

and the better units will detect and apply appropriate filtering at the same point, so you do not need to consider using any software at all. If you already have a DVDR and plan to transfer using it then it will take care of the digitising / encoding process. Most importantly you want to stick to the golden rule of only encoding once, as every encoding will discard more data and degrade the image further. So this is the part that you want to get right, and in practice, if you do, there should be virtually no difference between the two when passively viewing. In theory a digital recording, thus made is much inferior to the original recording. MPEG2, of necessity contains a tiny fraction of the amount of information that is present in the original analogue. The critical part of the process of converting Analogue VHS to digital is the process of MPEG2 encoding. This enables the disc to be played on other machine's. The Recorder will ask you at this point if you want to finalise, select yes. When it's come to the end, press stop on the DVD Recorder, then stop on the VHS. I usually time the length of the VHS beforehand so i know when it's going to finish.
When that's done, just press play on the VHS, then press record on the DVD Recorder. You can usually name the disc, and you may want to do this at this point, as you will probably forget later on. Pop a blank recordable disc into your DVD Recorder. When you can view it, rewind it back to your start point, this is where you want to start recording it from. Now just play one of your VHS tapes and check that you can view it on your TV. With your remotes, select AV1 on your VCR, and AV1 on your DVD Recorder, then AV1 on your TV. Then connect AV2 on your DVD Recorder to AV1 on your TV. Worst case scenario, a handful of brand-new DVD/VHS units are still available on Amazon from Magnavox, Toshiba, Funai and Sanyo (all are more-or-less identical save a couple of minor feature differences that won't matter for your project).You can use scart leads for all your connections, and shouldn't need to purchase anything else to get the job done for you, nor do you need additional software.Ĭonnect AV1 on your VCR to AV1 on your DVD Recorder. It just won't be one-button-automated: you'll need to hit play on the external VCR and then record on the Panasonic DVD. Could also be your backup VCR is more compatible with them: note if necessary, you can plug this other VCR into your Panasonic and record to the Panasonic DVD section from this external VCR. It is not uncommon for such tapes to play well the first time they're pulled out of storage, then awful the next day (or vice-versa, as PuZLeR and theewizard mentioned). Also, consider the history of your "company tapes" - if they've been sitting in storage for more than a couple years, and weren't top-quality blanks to begin with, they might have become twitchy with age.
Previous replies re cleaning the Panasonic might help. And "New Old Stock" isn't as nice an idea with DVD/VHS recorders as it is with other items: these combo recorders can silently "decay" if they sit in their sealed box unused for several years (while a twenty year old dedicated VCR might work perfectly). If you've been running one of those around the clock for two weeks, you might have knocked something out of whack. For example, the final EZ-47 and -48 are widely considered more buggy than earlier models. We still have a couple of hardcore Panasonic specialists browsing the forums who may have specific advice for your unit. Saves time having the other person do it though.ĬocoXL, it might help if you posted exactly what model Panasonic you are having trouble with.

) We're going to try to manually clean it! Luckily there is someone in the department that knows how to do it.
(How can a VCR have been used "pretty heavily" in only 2 weeks, or be brand new after 7 years? Never mind. Or, you can open the VCR(s) up and manually clean it with pure (99%) alcohol and a swab. Problem is always solved for me this way.īest ways to clean a VCR in my opinion is by running a tape through it -either a tape you don't love, or, for best results, a brand new tape - for like 30-60 mins. Best thing to do in this case is to clean the VCR(s). It's very likely just dirt, or dirt transfered, either from the tape, or from a VCR itself. It may be the tape itself that has issues, or the VCR(s), or anything. Sometimes a tape tends to throw off my review VCR, or afterwards in the capture VCRs. (Then again, I abuse all electronics equally - no discrimination here. I have a VCR I use just for review, rewind, forward, cue, etc., my abuse unit.
