Hey Community,

these days i planned for digitizing some video tapes.
After the first record i realized that there is anything wrong with the video material.

I guess it's a problem by the tape - however, is there any filter for correcting the problem?

Greets and thanks

I nominate this question as the most vague description of a problem ever.
Please pin lol

This is standard jitter problem from VHS. The way to correct it is a TBC : Time Base Corrector. It's an hardware system you put after your VCR, and before sampling device/card. Unfortunately, these TBC devices are not realy cheap, and, as far as i know, i've yet never seen filter correcting this. Asking on different forums, you will (or may) probably have almost all the time the same answer : use a TBC.

... I may get the wrong problem. If it's not jitter wich bother you, but yellow shadow, i don't think there is solution. It's because of low chroma bandwith, and problem is increased each time tape is copied, and i'm affraid there is probably nothing against it.

Hi jpsdr,

thanks a lot for you response.
It's good to know that this is caused by the VHS and not a (real) problem during the digitizing.

Er, are you sure this is timing jitter? This looks like analog signal ringing to me.

I first thought he talked about timing jitter you can see at the bottom of the f, before noticing the most obvious yellow shadow, wich is not, of course, a timing jitter, but something related to how VSH worked, and it's related to several things (diaphony caused by magnetic proximity on tape, low pass filter on chroma and others i don't remember), unfortunately irreversible, and amplifyed by copy.

Out of curiosity, what format is VHS (PAL, SECAM or NTSC) ? Is it an original or a n generation copy ?
