I am not sure yet what the problem is here so thought I would write the group. I have an ADVC110 and a S-VCR hooked up to it. I am dubbing tapes from the VHS to the computer. I am using Sony Vegas Capture to bring the content in. It has a nice option to show how long the tape has been moving, compared to how much footage actually came in. It can tell when footage has "stalled" for whatever reason and doesn't count that as part of the actual footage duration that came in.
I had a few tapes in a row recently that when I'm watching it be dubbed to the computer, the screen freezes, the VCR still shows activity, and the actual footage coming in stops. Then after a bit, duration varies, the screen starts moving again, and the actual footage coming in starts incrementing again. Do you think this is an ADVC issue, or the VCR, or maybe old tapes? Note when the footage pauses and starts again, the pause in between is skipped. so if there was a one minute pause on screen, the video will start again a minute into the tape which makes me think it's still rotating the tape in the VCR, but it's not being output for some reason at some stage of the process.
Any thoughts?
