First test is done.

Seems V8 will not capture in W10, though it does open it does not detect my Haauppage 850 dongle.

PD9 works here on win 10 for Maninfrontofpc : http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/47257.page#post_box_245898 . Cyberlink support gave me access to download the 32 bit version of PD9 6 years ago separate from the 64 bit version. Try them.

I have PD9, with the old instructions to remove the 64bit installer in Winrar, but I dont know if it can capture in different codecs, though it will render in alternative codecs, Divx comes to mind, but I want to capture in AVI and I just dont recall if it can do that. Windows AVI ends up with ginormous files. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Quote I was thinking PD 8 or 9, as they had no 64 bit version (I think I am correct there).

I think PD9 has a 64-bit version as my copy is installed in 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files x86'. Regards,

Intel Core i5 Quad Core 3.3GHz, 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333MHz,

Windows 7 Prof 64-bit, PD 9 Ultra 64, PD 13 Ultimate 64

I managed to install the 32 bit PD9 with my old instructions. Now I have many AVI export choices. They include DV-AVI type 1 and 2, as well as DivX and Cinepak, Lagarith, and Prodad, among others. Very nice. But I have a ticket into Support because I need my major codecs re-set from CL due to age and so many installs. At this time I am unable to see if I can CAPTURE VHS using these same AVI codecs, which is what this is originally all about. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

I don't recall ever being able to capture in anything but mpeg 2, but that could have been any number of things. CODEC, capture card or even version. That was a long time ago. __________________________________

My Hauppage will capture in AVI, so I was hoping to see if other AVI codecs were available, but I am up to version PD9 and the CAPTURE for USB dongle is limited and the TV signal will not lite up, on;y digital. I suspect it is a W10 issue, so one by one I will install higher versions in 32bit to see what happens. If you want to squeeze a VHS tape for all it's got, then MPG stinks.

After some trial and errors...I have installed PD12 as a 32bit app and it does, indeed, now capture in multiple AVI containers. My choices are DivX, Lagarith, Microsoft Video 1, VP8, Intel IYUV has vertical strips/artifacts, Intel Indeo 3.2, Intel Indeo 4.5, Indeo 5.10 drops frames like crazy and likes to crash PD, Cinepack drops frames big time.

Several of these AVI settings can be tweaked to improve/screw up performance. This was a good pursuit. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

No problem here at all with the Intel Indeo 5.0 codec. See the attached mediainfo on a video clip captured with that codec for the year, capture card, and software used at that time. That was before win xp that came out in late 2001. I was using a win 98 computer on an intel PIII 500 mhz cpu and capture was perfect for Hi8 analog video. That is high resolution at that time.

That particular codec must either be purchased on win 10 or enabled with a hack. It works perfect on my pc’s. No dropped frames on my win 7 pc or my old win 98 pc. I have the license to use that codec. It was included with the hardware/software purchases before the turn of the century.

I wonder how lossy that is, and if I can get a license for free its so old. I also wonder within my current choices what performs the best capture. VHS needs every last speck of quality in capture especially if you want to apply enhancements and fixes as a means of preservation. These tapes are failing and degrading as the decades roll on.

Hmmm, I wonder what other avi might be possible to show up in the interface? I was hoping for huffyuv, or really anything to test. What was that Magic one from last year? HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Well folks, I have been wasting precious time but having fun doing it.

I have managed to get a whole bunch of capture codecs going, only some of which work and do not crash. But I am actually capturing and ancient VHS tape using the old version of MagicYUV. There are some dropped frames and the files are rather huuuge, but it's a silent film so a few frames here and there is no big deal. 11 minutes=3.15 GB. For the purposes of video "restoration" the captured file should be more tweakable than MPEG. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
