Hmm, having worked in the TV Industry for over 20 years this is a subject I ought to know all about but even I am confused by these domestic TBCs! Since line-timing instability is the main problem with my Betamax recordings, I certainly would need a TBC that does both! When you say the AVT-8710 is a "full frame TBC", does this mean it can only correct vertical timing errors, and has no effect on line-timing errors? Certainly massively slower than the real-time encoding I can do on my DMR-EZ49VEBK.Īlso I don't have a FireWire input on my PC: so would have to buy a Firewire card.Īgree the double A-D conversion path is not desirable but I can't think of any other solution if I want to make use of the more advanced clean-up features of the ADVC-300.įor the DV to S-Video conversion stage I think I would buy an ADVC110, unless there's a cheaper option?

I prefer not to use my PC to capture and burn to DVD, as the MPEG2 encoding is very slow (when done with good quality settings).
I can't see any difference between it's recordings and the original footage (except in very rare cases where the recording was severely faulty). For optimal quality, I use it in XP mode, which records only 1 hour of material on each disc. An image comparison shows it can produce tearing at the top of frame: I found () very helpful in understanding the differences between devices and what they are meant to do. I think it would be better to capture the DV from the ADVC-300 on a computer and compress that to MPEG2 for DVD rather than doing extra A to D and D to A conversions. A lot depends on the quality and features of the DVD recorder. Reading the reviews on () makes me think there must be better options but I am not sure about that for your workflow. So unless anyone can suggest a better analogue-to-analogue TBC unit, I'll probably have to go with the ADVC-300. Which forum did you find that discusses these? I am always trying to figure out a better workflow for (S)VHS to H.264. A lot of the quality issues depend on the device(s) after the AVT-8710.

I am not sure how one would compare the image quality as one is an analog to digital DV converter with built in filters and line TBC and the other outputs an analog signal and is a full frame TBC. The AVT-8710 is only a Time Base Corrector not a capture device. Well you cannot really compare the two like that. Also the ADVC-300 appears to produce much better picture quality judging by the forums I've looked at. Looks like the AVT-8710 doesn't have any noise reduction capability: so it's not really suitable for my purpose. How is the quality of the DV to s-video converter?
I don't think you want to go analog->DV->analog->DVD if you don't have to, certainly not for a simple noise filter. Yes you're absolutely right, it won't work as an analogue-to-analogue device unless I buy a FireWire to S-Video DAC to use in conjunction with it (which may actually be a cheaper option than buying an analogue-to-analogue TBC with noise reduction!)
