I want to capture VHS tapes to disk then throw away the bulky tapes. I'm using OBS and EasyCAP on Ubunto to do that.
The problem I see now is that many tapes show rapidly-changing text at the top of every frame. It looks like a time index amoung other things.
I don't see these when playing those tapes from the same VHS machine on a TV, and I think I recall that the first few lines are ignored.
So I'd like to remove them from the capture, so that I don't see them whhen I watch the digital capture on my TV.
How can I do that please?
Also, I have capture setting that work but I've no idea if they're sensible or not. I've seen a number of "perfect settings recipes" online but they contradict eachother or else cannot be set using OBS and EasyCAP. For example, input resolution should, presumably be very ow to reflect the low resolution of VHS, but OBS's lowest resolution is vastly higher than that of VHS. Interlacing is another puzzle. Modern TYVS don't interlace, so I should remove it, but when I do, I see MORE interlacing artifacts, so I'm out of brain power. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
