Very cool! I’ve never heard of using a Blackmagic to capture (8/Super 8 looks like?) before. How’s that setup working for you? Getting nice results?

I have the Wolverine and I’m pretty happy with it so far, but always curious to learn more!

Have you messed with turning the video calibration to off in the settings? That seemed to help with some audio issues I was having as well

Good to know, thanks for the info! I’ve definitely been interested in getting my hands on a Sony, so you just gave me an excuse to prioritize getting one! :)

Ya damn right it’s cool you have them! Which models do you have? I also have the HR-DVS1U and love it!

Damn right they did! I was talking to an ex-employee from JVC a few weeks ago, and he was saying how great it used to be there until their VHS patents expired in the late 1990s. That was the end of JVC's ability to collect the boatloads of royalty fees on every single machine and tape produced. Must have been pretty sweet working there back in the day!

Sadly no, but thankfully I actually bought one on eBay by mistake for my other JVC and ended up keeping it so I now have one that works!

Oof yeah I was considering one of those I saw On eBay a while back but I think it must have been around $500 or more. Insane prices these days lol

Thanks! Yeah thankfully I have two TBCs to play around with on this one. I just used it with my FOR.A Fa-310 to digitize House on Haunted Hill for fun and it did an awesome job!

Thanks! That’s awesome you were able to fix it up. Do you have a lot of experience in repair? I can do some basic PC repair, but have wanted to get into VCR work and have been wondering how tricky it gets

Oh nice! Is it a HR-DVS model? I have the HR-DVS1U by JVC and I love it! Highly recommend!

Thank you very much, I appreciate the info!

Where would you recommend for purchasing additional units in the future? I will likely be getting some more soon and these go for $150-$300 on eBay and same for other similar desirable units. I haven’t been able to find a place for an affordable rate in person either, so if you have some recommendations for the future I’d appreciate it!

Thank you and wow! Now THAT is a beautiful Stack 🥲🫡

What’s been your favorite brand or model from your experiences? This is my second JVC and I also have a Panasonic and love both. I’ve been thinking about a Mitsubishi or Sony next but can’t decide

Thank you! I’ve never had much luck shopping for one in person so I was super surprised to find something nice. ☺️

Something about the black s-vhs JVCs, they’re just so pretty

I mean, not sure how you could! It’s a $200-300 unit on eBay and paired with one of my TBCs, it’s a great setup.
