@clement5 I get the same with MEP 2021. Incredibly annoying! The worst part was it only started happening after a while. I changed to capturing my VHS with MagicYUV, which obviously isn't much help after the fact. I reported that MEP 2022 fixed

@Ove5868 This is a common problem with VHS captures, unfortunately. The culprit will almost certainly be the lack of a time Base Corrector of some type. See my response to this thread for my

RE: VHS capture quality is very poor

@cmclernon Thanks. I would proceed as JohnEB has suggested; you want absolutely the highest quality you can get, and MXV should give that to you. After you have your MXV, then you can export it to MPEG-4 as full HD. It is a pity that these manuals

@Ove5868 @johnebaker @CubeAce AFAICS you are doing nothing wrong, you do not see the 'wavy edges' on a TV playing 'analog' video because there is up to 5% of the image being cropped from the sides - If you look closely, you will see that any "edge"
