Having digitised a few VHS tapes, the (personal) time consumer was verifying whether the capture was successful and of acceptable quality. Is anyone aware of a way to automate the quality control?

To really be sure it came out right, you'd have to watch it side-by-side with the original, to tell whether glitches in the capture are in the original, or a result of a faulty capture.
- WalterBright 2y agoJust take a look at the first minute and the last minute. If they're OK, it's pretty assured the rest is. For damaged cassettes, you can move the tape from one cassette to another. If the tape is broken, packing tape will get it spliced well enough. If the leader or trailer is bad, you can cut it off and reattach the end to the spool. If the recording is lousy, cleaning the VCR heads with alcohol usually will fix it.
