Do any beautifying in a postprocessing step with video editing software. Record the material as closely to the original as possible, with all drops and damage present. The latter produces bigger files but the best quality.ĭon't use any video filters with OBS. Use simple output mode and set the recording quality to "High Quality" or "Indistinguishable Quality". In Settings->Video set fps to 50 if you have PAL material or to 59.94 if you have NTSC material. In OBS, set Settings->Video->Base resolution and output resolution both to one of these resolutions. The black bars are added by any media player at playback, but are not contained in the video file.įor VHS tapes, record to 768x576 (PAL) - depends on what the capture card is able to produce. You should record to a video file that most closely matches the source material, so record to a 4:3 aspect ratio file. VHS tapes are aspect ratio 4:3, so there will always be black bars if you display this on a 16:9 monitor. Thank you for your help - I only have once chance of digitizing those videos and want to make sure I'm doing this right. I had found a similar thread, but unfortunately it still left me confused. Also at the moment I center the input video by hand and position the red and blue frames around the edges of it, but surely there must be a better way of doing this.
Perhaps you have some advice if you know of a way to reduce the damage done by time to the VHS tapes (stripes, noise etc.) I tried some software post-processing but it did not seem to do anything.How to make sure I have the correct bitrate?.Should I make use of any video filters, and which?.How do I reduce the resulting file size?.How do I make sure I capture video at the best possible quality for its format?.
What should be the optimum settings for capturing VHS?.Recording Quality: High Quality, Medium File Size Regarding settings, at the moment I have: I read in the forums that I should only be using 320x240 resolution. My current setup has resulted in black bars on both sides of the video, and files too large to manage (I mean, about 30GB file size for a 2-hour video.).Īdditionally, the old tapes had lost a lot of clarity, and while the audio is clear, the video has stripes and all kinds of interference, which I suppose cannot be helped now but tinkering with different aspects of the setup resulted in a video with much worse viewing quality. I hope someone can help me make sure I have the right settings for the purpose. I am new to OBS and to video editing in general, truthfully I will probably only be using the software to convert old VHS tapes into digital format.
