@mark.s.witty, @AAProds Hi Alwyn - I now have the trial version of VE 7 installed. . . . . There doesn't appear to be a Project Setting area (at least according the manual)? . . . . See page 44. The aspect ratio of the capture and project can be set

No Live Audio Monitoring While Recording to Sound Forge

I'm running Sound Forge 14 on a Windows 10 machine, and have been transferring and restoring some old analog tapes using Sound Forge. I feed the tape deck RCA out to my sound card input and Sound Forge captures the signal, no problem. Unfortunately

RE: VHS capture quality is very poor

@cmclernon Regarding files sizes for digital capture of the VHS analog signal. To my mind I would want to use a non lossy codec that would give each individual pixel when digitized it's own set of values and not be grouped with its nearest neighbors

RE: Question regarding video upscaling

@AAProds Hi Jack. Yes, I did have an old CRT TV but I threw it out years ago because I didn’t think that I’d need it again. Typical. Didn't we all 🤣 The nearest thing you could do in the digital domain is find an old larger SVGA Tube monitor Like

RE: Limiter

I am not very familiar with the limiters included with Sound Forge AS. Peak normalize may work, but it sets the global highest peak (as desired), but low level sounds would still be low in relation to the highest peak I recall an Express Dynamics

RE: VHS made into DVD

@Bigangbo That's what I thought. Most people if they transferred their tapes early to DVDs probably though they would never had to remaster the tape again. The program picked up that it had more than one sound track because whoever put it to DVD

RE: VHS capture quality is very poor

@cmclernon That seems a plausible theory to me if there are no options to choose from although it could be the recording to MP4 is just making the cross hatching more visible due to the compression used in MP4 rather than the cause of the cross
