Notice the purple ‘glow’ towards the top of the video in the second image? That’s the ‘flicker’ I’m speaking of. First I noticed that videos in color captured will have a subtle but noticeable color ‘flicker’ on the upper screen evident by these pics. The former will work mine for other things for now while I’m now having problems with Dazzle v1.0. The past few months my capture methods have been Dazzle DV100 hooked into the 2016 version of Pinnacle Studios and Dazzle v1.0 for the video and my Honestech VIDBOX for audio running through Cyberlink PowerDirector. Unfortunately most of my EyeTV Hybrids are now faulty to some degree though my original one, the one giving me the fuzzy video, still works fine at the moment. However the signals slightly off evident by the noticable ‘curves’ of some of the edges (compare the letters in ‘Frankenstein’ in this grab to the grab from my friends capture).Īnyways I ultimately decided to keep toying with this and really only use EyeTV to capture TV programs from my cable box as the issues it was giving me with VHS’ it wasn’t giving me there. This actually looks a bit more detailed compared to my friends capture. Here’s a grab from a capture from that tuner. 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. Here, it's the ideal compact, no-fuss offering that'll get you telly on your portable PC, and it's small enough to leave connected permanently, if you're careful.Hello. However, the Deluxe comes into its own if you have a netbook or thin'n'light laptop. The DTT comes with EyeTV, but not Terratec Home Cinema, but Windows users have plenty of other cheap tuners to choose from. As such, it's hard to recommend the Deluxe for anyone setting up a desktop-style media centre - you shouldn't need to care about the tuner's size, so go for the cheap one. Elgato's standard DTT, which does the same job, only costs £50, so you're paying a lot extra for the miniaturisation. The Windows 7 support means the Deluxe will work out of the box with Media Center if you prefer that to THC. Incidentally, in addition to the Windows driver for the Deluxe - it's for Windows 7, but it also worked on our WinXP netbook - Elgato has also supplied drivers for the previous version, its Diversity, Hybrid and EyeTV Sat tuners, though these aren't fully certified.
