Terrible audio noise after converting VHS to DV

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop,alt.video.dvd.tech (More info?)

I do not have a direct solution but maybe a workaround, Capture the sound
seperatly in an audio program and then drop that sound file preferably
changed to a wav file on the sound track of your NLE and delete the original
captured sound track. It is assumed that the original output from VHS to TV
does not have popping.
I use Pinnacle Studio 8.12.2 and luckily am popping free.
