VHS capture guide
#1
Hi. I want to capture VHS tapes, and am wondering if there is a guide to use Hybrids for this purpose? My knowledge in this area is not strong, but I am good with computers and can follow instructions well. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry, to tell you that Hybrid is not able to capture content. So you can't use it for capturing VHS or streams.
You clould probably use it to clean up captured content, but I'm not aware of any guide for Hybrid aiming for this.
In general Hybrid is aimed at advanced users that know about filtering&co, so it might not be the best tool to start.
Regarding the capturing: You might want to look over at videohelp.com, digitalfaq.com or similar sites that have guides and quite a few folks which capture vhs content on a daily basis. The main thing with VHS is that the actual capturing with decent equipement is the most important part, since any filtering is bound to only create mediocre results if the input isn't decent.
