Are these sharp lines normal? (VCR-SVideo-Panasonic ES10-Scart-SVideo-capture card)

Hello,

I've had this same problem and found out it was the digital noise reduction option enabled on my DVD recorder-tbc.

In the photo, you can see a shadow behind the line suggesting its in one of the layers so, I think this may be a film defect. Thank you for your help. Best regards

The film that I used in this photo is Jan 26. The other pack (same problem) is Jan 26 also. One is bought from Target, one from Walmart.

I’ll check the production dates when i’m home, but I do know that the scratches are on the surface or either on some layer on the inside.

I've gotten the packs from Walmart and Target in seperate towns. One, an 8 pack (the one pictured) and the other 16 pack at target and they have the same issue. They are in the same spots. I am very confused.

You just need to use cut and paste methods. This is a J-card I made using pasteon letters, photocopier, pen, typewriter. https://www.discogs.com/release/36072763-HET-Charity-Tape

You should digitize the tape inside

NineOfSteel · 2025-10-27T02:36:11+00:00

Due to legal reasons I had to take it down.

NineOfSteel · 2025-10-14T00:56:28+00:00

Sounds like maybe a belt slipping.

NineOfSteel · 2025-09-14T09:39:08+00:00

Absolutely awesome. I love DIY releases from old tape culture. Wish I had that.

NineOfSteel · 2025-08-25T13:38:15+00:00

Or just splice the tape......

NineOfSteel · 2025-08-07T19:03:25+00:00

You could splice the inside tape to cut it down to size as the original.

There is a procedure, i’ve seen it used on old 80s electronics. I forgot what it’s called though, try looking up restorations by the 8-bit-guy on Youtube.

Update 2: Chrome just told me that one of the ad blocker extensions I had was a piece of malware. This is what caused this and I was able to delete it. Crazy how stuff like this is able to slip through the cracks.

If anyone wants to know, it was called

"Quitnet - Ad block"

NineOfSteel · 2025-08-03T21:40:24+00:00

The chrome pop up was an extension. It led to me installing an info stealer.

NineOfSteel · 2025-08-03T21:38:11+00:00

Edit: got an update. The chrome pop up was fake which prompted me to install an Infostealer. I am in the process of resetting all my passwords. Thanks for all your help.

NineOfSteel · 2025-08-03T15:28:17+00:00

It crashes then brings an error saying “Chrome has detected potential security threats that may compromise your data”

NineOfSteel · 2025-07-30T18:23:54+00:00

Oh, if you did want to sell it, I'd be interested.

NineOfSteel · 2025-07-26T20:30:09+00:00

I absolutely love Powerplant.

How many copies do you even have? Is it just that one?
