Hi, I wish to transfer some home movies from my VHS camcorder to DVD. I tried this with a standalone DVD+R recorder and the bottom 8 lines of the DVD image on playback have interference from the heads of the VCR. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction on how to copy the DVD+R I have made and in the process mask the bottom 8 lines of the image so as to hide the interference? Many thanks, Tez.
Well one way you can do this is to Record the VHS to DVD with your DVD Recorder useing the Highest Quality setting.... Then Rip the Recorded DVD to your PC"s Hard Drive as a Single VOB/VRO file useing "DVD Decryptor" ...Then Load the VOB/VRO file into Tmpgenc pluss and use it"s Crop Feature in the "Clip Frame" settings to Crop the Bottom 8 lines out of the Frames and encode the File to Mpeg-2/DVD format.... Then Load the Mpeg-2/DVD file into a DVD authoring program Like "DVDLab" to add your Menu"s and Chapters and to author the DVD...Now just watch the Movie in your DVD Player.... Generally you should not see the Bottom 8 Lines of the Video when watching on your TV set because most TV sets have a OverScan area of from 10% to 15% that Masks the outside edges of the Frame...They Do this For just that reason and because Transmited Interlaced Video Has a Jagged appearance arround the edges so the Overscan is supposed to mask this effect...... Cheers
