I previously had a Canopus ADVC 100 that I used to convert some of my old
VHS home movies to digital format and then to the computer via firewire.
This worked like a charm. I then decided to get a Sony HC-40 MiniDV video
camera, which has the "pass through" function built in for doing the analog
conversions so I sold my Canopus unit. Now when I use the camera, for the
conversion, I'm having audio problems (that I never had with the Canopus).
The video capture is great and I get the audio as well, but there is a very
distinct and constant "popping" noise. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 9 for the
capture. I even tried Windows Movie Maker and I get the same noise. I even
tried another VCR and I get the same noise. Here's what puzzles me: when I
capture a clip from a commercial video tape movie I get perfect audio with
no noise. I only get the noise with my old VHS tapes that were made years
ago with my old RCA camera. Some tapes are as old as 22 years old but no
matter which home movie tape I use I get the noise. The VCR I'm running
through is a JVC Super VHS model HR-S8009UM, which I bought off of eBay for
this purpose (I wanted a unit that has S-Video out). Any help would be
appreciated.
