I've been successfully using the ADVC-110 to back up my VHSs not available on DVD, going into my mac laptop. I hit one tape which has an unusual signal: once EVERY second (all through the tape), the RH 20% of the frame gets transferred to LH side of the next frame, and between the two (the shifted 20% and the existing 70% of the next frame) there is a vertical spike, rainbow colored. The disruption lasts for one frame.
This is independent of whether the signal gets run through a signal stabilizer, whether the FW line runs through a FW hub, or whether the ADVC-110 and the signal stabilizer are separated physically from the VCR (or sitting on top of it). In a straight playback situation (VCR to TV monitor), the tape plays beautifully.
I checked with the vendor of the sig stabilizer, and he hadn't run into anything like this. I've been through all 18 pages of this forum, and didn't see anything either. But I thought I'd ask.
