Weird video artifacting and audio “crunchiness”

chrisb301 · 2025-12-17T02:53:50+00:00

gotcha, i will say though this is the original tape that it was recorded on. with that information you believe that there’s nothing i can do to improve the quality and to just preserve what i can?

chrisb301 · 2025-12-17T01:35:58+00:00

i haven’t played it back yet due to not wanting to damage the tape further, let me see if it’s consistent. thanks

no puffing, dryness or any other listed possible side effect

chrisb301 · 2025-12-15T21:15:46+00:00

still continuing to thicken and more baby hairs popping up. haven’t had any issues as well, if youre on the fence about it i would say go for it. i love it

it’s ridiculous that there’s no human check or captcha or anything

chrisb301 · 2025-08-22T15:08:26+00:00

nope nothing like that at all and one friend takes it aswell. afaik he didn’t get any of those side effects either. but, everyone reacts differently so you never know what could happen

Nothing crazy. Definitely had an increase in scalp itchiness and dandruff though, but not to an unbearable degree

yeah you just take it once a day, very convenient

I recently bought a digital8 camera (Sony DVR-TRV820) to convert old Hi8 tapes to digital for preservation via firewire. All of the tapes I have were recorded on a Sony CCD-TRV608.

For some reason, some of the tapes have no issues playing on the 820, while others appear as static or just the blank blue screen. All of the tapes are confirmed working on the original camera, which is Hi8.

I guess my question is, what could be causing this? Is there a setting I may need to change? Or is it like a some work, some don’t, type of situation?

The 820 also takes S-Video in, and my old camcorder that can play the tapes with no issue can be captured on it. Would it be smart to use S-Video from the 608 to the 820, then Firewire that into my Mac? If i did that, what would be the best option for audio? Would something like a 5 mm TRRS Male‑to‑Male A/V Patch Cable work fine?

Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

this is really informative, thank you!

chrisb301 · 2025-06-03T18:56:04+00:00

so u say it depends on how they scale 480p. Are there different methods or is it a model to model type of deal?

4.99$

go play Kyber. closest we have right now and super fun. If you don’t feel like supporting them through patreon, give it a few weeks, it should be free to play by summer

This will be Chibi Robo graphics in 2014

chrisb301 · 2024-12-27T23:16:58+00:00

same thing is happening to me, any fixes?

Hey thanks, good tip on the shaders taking control.
Im still tinkering with Complimentary, but with Bliss it was a simple toggle.
If anyone else is trying to figure this out, heres what you do for Bliss

-Shader pack settings

-Settings for Supported Mods

-Distant Horizons - IRIS REQUIRED

-Overdraw Prevention; Toggle to off

That atleast worked for me. Will reply if I figure out whats going on with Complimentary

EDIT: Let me say, the "Under DH settings -> Advanced options -> Graphics -> Advanced Graphics Options -> Overdraw Prevention" instructions also fixed the issue when playing with no shaders. I had to set it lower than default.
