Hello,
This is my first post on the forum, so please forgive me if I am not following the right process.
I have a collection of PAL 25fps S-VHS-C videos taken with a Panasonic NV-S7 Camcorder. I played them from a Panasonic NV-HS930 via a Video-2-Mac adaptor and either QuickTime and OBS on a 2013 model Mac running MacOs Catalina Version 10.15.7. Hybrid and QTGMC did a great job of de-interlacing them, but the quality was variable as I do not have a timebase corrector. The audio input to Hybrid was AAC.
I have asked a professional company to digitise my tapes, as they have a timebase corrector and other equipment superior to mine. They have provided a sample video for me with PCM audio. I have managed to make this work with Hybrid, but only if I output X.264 with AAC audio to an .mp4 file. To make it work, I have to customise the audio handling by selecting a custom audio setting on the Base page and Audio Encoding Audio Format AAC on the Audio page.
When I try the same audio settings while outputting to a .mov file with either X.264 or ProRes, Hybrid fails to create an output file. I think the failure may be occurring at the muxing stage. If I change the audio setting to ignore, then Hybrid processes the input file with no problem.
Ideally, I would like to create a ProRes output file with passthrough to recreate the original PCM audio. AAC would also be OK, but I can't make it work with ProRes.
I would be most grateful for any help you could provide on this please.
Thanks, Graham
