I recently finished a VHS project... performative work looping between two modified decks and working with a handmade video switcher built in a peppermint tin... however, i finished the project to digital because the work we did with VHS was performative and quite physical, so the tape took qui

There is a professional piece of video production gear known as a scan converter. The correct scan converter for your needs will have analog outs to go into a VHS deck. This will give you a purer image than "burn your video onto DVD and then dub to a VHS cassette. DVDplayer -> VCR" Scan conv

If pure signal is what you want, then a scan converter will add another step in the processing chain that you don't necessarily need. A video card with a proper analog out is ideally what you want, like one of the Blackmagic Decklink cards or a Matrox Mojito. Just offered the DVDplayer to VCR ro

Actually, a Matrox MX02 is a cheaper option, and it's an external card, so no need to open up your editing machine, or indeed more useful if you're working from a laptop Michael > On 14 Jul 2015, at 21:13, Pigott, Michael wrote: > > If pure signal is what you want, then a scan converter will
