Really nice! In case anyone was wondering, this is for capturing and decoding the raw VHS RF signal from special test points on your VHS recorder. Some hardware hacking is required: https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode/wiki/Hardware-Installation-Guide https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode/wiki/Hardware-Install...
By the way, great Japanese docudrama about the making of VHS with Toshiyuki Nishida and Ken Watanabe: https://rarefilmm.com/2020/05/hi-wa-mata-noboru-2002/ https://rarefilmm.com/2020/05/hi-wa-mata-noboru-2002/
- actionfromafar 4y agoIf you are familiar with TBC or Time Base Corrector, you can think of this program as an offline non linear time base corrector with a LOT of options. Also because it takes the VHS data as early after tape capture as possible, a lot of components in the VHS player are bypassed and implemented by superior software.
- pmarreck 4y agocombine this with some ML-powered artifact correction and perhaps a bit of upscaling and you might invent the best VHS digitizer available
- jacquesm 4y agoYou definitely want to tee the process before you start doing any ML artifact correction to make sure that it actually is an improvement.
