Occasionally when I use a store-bought VHS tape, I try to capture it. I have found the more used/older the tape, I am dropping frames, even using two diff VCRs. I also tried going from VCR to Dazzle to MiniDV camera, and sometimes I'll get a blue screen at the same points where the Dazzle drop frames when going straight from Dazzle into the PC. Difference is the MiniDV stays connected and gets a short blue 1/30 frame or so.
When I watch the VHS regularly, I don't see any drops in the video.
Is there anything that can be done to insure 'seamless' captures with older VHS tapes? Or since they are old, if it has a bad portion of it, it will drop no matter what?
