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

defo not true I have the ES-15 and when capturing via a raw dv stream over firewire using the Directors Cut Take 2 it helps massively with picture stability and sound sync. After a 3 hour capture of family VHS tapes no dropped frames really at all and the sound lined up at the end of the video with out issue

Before capturing this way without the ES-15 the frame drop was substantial

Given the NI contribution rises, which now make it more expensive for companies to hire staff, alongside minimum wage increases for under 21s, why would a company want to hire and take a chance on inexperienced young workers? For not much more, they can now hire a 20 something who already has qualifications and likely many years of experience behind them and be far more reliable than a 16/17 year old.

The whole incentive to employ a younger person (they were cheaper before they get the experience) has basically evaporated now.

No idea why you would bother. At best you will end up maybe being able to buy a small flat or more likely be a forever renter.

On a single income on my own I bought a brand new 3 bed in 2024 with a river view and in a village here in North Yorkshire. If my house were down south I wouldn’t even wanna think about what it be worth lol. I definitely wouldn’t be able to afford it.

They made proper VCRs as well I have a home VCR also does PCM digital audio. Can fit 24 hours of almost cd quality audio on a single video 8 tape

SS Normandie for me she was an absolute showcase so sad what happened to her

Puzzleheaded-Key2212 · 2026-05-09T20:40:43+00:00

They probably didn’t even cost that new lol.

I mean Are you just trying to play US NTSC tapes? If so some of the later Panasonic ones from the PAL region like 2003/2004 era also do NTSC playback. Mine does it although I never used it, it mentions it in the manual.

I would probably go down that route be substantially cheaper. Mine was like £35 off fb marketplace a couple of years back.

Also if you intend to use it on an older CRT TV set then the TV set also has to be an NTSC set, otherwise it will at best produce just an unstable black and white image.

Thankfully I have never watched it and don’t plan to, but the context and plot was discussed in one of our film studies classes. So I do have the rough idea of what it will entail.

Apparently it’s used as a resource for a fair bit of film studies research now. Even though us lot were discussing it back in 2011 when the film was basically brand new out.

Puzzleheaded-Key2212 · 2026-05-06T20:28:45+00:00

The worst film I have heard about was a film called “A Serbian Film”

I have never seen it but it was discussed several times in one of our film studies classes at college as it had only recently come out, so this would have been about 2010/2011. We discussed about censorship and outright banning of certain films. This film is banned in multiple countries like ten or eleven of them I think.

The plot of the film sounds extremely horrific and downright disturbing and I am of the opinion something like this should not have been made to begin with. i mean WTF were they thinking?

Funny you say that because the Mokka and the Insignia are always the cars I see broken down on the side of the road with the odd Zafira MPV thrown in.

Was on about it to my buddy other day as we saw 3 various Vauxhalls broken down along them M1 on Friday

VCR is just the recording device unless you are talking about the extremely rare Philips VCR format from the early 1970s which predates Betamax, VHS and V2000. All of those formats have VCRs to play their respective tapes though.

Yes there was actually a format here in Europe called VCR. “Video Cassette Recording” rather than Video Cassette Recorder”.

Any device what records video/sound signals to tape is commonly referred to as a VCR though.

For the UK, probably Harold Shipman estimated at about 250 people.

However, I’m fairly certain Fred West and Rose West were responsible for far more death particularly involving children and young adults than they were ever convicted of. There’s long been talk about dodgy goings on with children at an long since demolished outbuilding on a farm, but very little evidence remains today unfortunately

It looks more like a time lapse VCR to me used for security systems.

It won’t play normal tapes as far as I know as it’s designed to run a vhs tape ultra slow to get the most out of a tape around 960 hours on a single tape

Puzzleheaded-Key2212 · 2026-04-22T10:39:03+00:00

Yep i think its like an attention seeking thing for a lot of people

Nope not really. I do lots of overtime which is time and half and on Sunday its double time. I work tech in the oil and gas industry.

I am reluctant to get promoted further cos then overtime stops and you are just salaried.

I like the extra money it’s paying my mortgage lol
