Both technologies have improved over time, hardware made within the last year or two is dramatically better at some issues than older hardware. ( I have always had the reverse problem: endless obscure issues capturing to the PC, and much easier time with DVD recorders. I've been waiting for multilaser standalone recorders to correct this (one laser to record, another one - on separate mechanism - to read it with a delay and display to tv) but the manufacturers rather make crap and try sell it for $30 than good devices for $100 (yes I know in your case it is because your tvset itself corrects the picture, but nevertheless with standalone recorders small errors like skipping few frames which causes slight audio desynch usually is never seen during recording but is clearly seen when you play such bad disc) I have wasted myself once entire hour of recording on standalone just to discover choppy playback on the disc later. Its almost never like this (at least it never happened to me) that what you see could differ from you got captured on computer.

and that is exactly why I never like nor recommend any standalone recorders, because what you see on the screen is not neccessary what you got recorded on the disc. but when I hook it up to a DVD recorder (separately) the recorder doesn't correct what I'm seeing on the screen and copies a wavy picture. Your DVD recorder can also be a factor in this: models made before late-2005 are more sensitive to tape errors than newer units. Do not confuse the AG1980 with its lookalike predecessor the AG1970: the 1970 doesn't do much for severe flagging, it is optimized to fix a different type of timing error that the 1980 can't fix (now you know why those of us with huge tape collections own three or four different playback VCRs). It will also clean up the color and other picture noise, so the overall bargain should work in your favor. Depending on the tape, it may soften the image a small bit but thats a decent trade-off to be rid of severe flagging. The AG1980 is not perfect for everything, but nothing beats it for fixing bent image problems. Each of these machines is optimized for slightly different tape problems and each adds some small image artifacts of its own.

If you can't be bothered with trial and error, I can tell you in my experience the Panasonic AG1980 will fix anything you throw at it of this nature: I have yet to find a flagging or wavy distortion this unit will not straighten up. Panasonic AG-1980 (or its twin the AG-5710)Īny of these will help to a greater or lesser degree depending on the specific cause of the flagging. The top four in handling flag waving are: There are a number of such VCRs to choose from, all of which must be purchased on the second-hand market. This is only repairable by playing the tapes on a high-end VCR with built-in TBC, which functions differently from external TBCs. Thankyou.'Flag-waving' is caused by a variety of factors, almost none of which are curable with an external TBC box. I could do with some help as my knowledge of doing this is not is obviously 0. I am now trying to play the disk in the bush recorder and even that wont read the disk it burned itself.which I find odd. I thought the disk were finalised by the machine as towards the end of the recording process it suggested that it had done this automatically.

At home I tried the disk on a Ps4 and it would not play. I took an old new years eve party on disc to my dads to show him and tried to play it on his laptop. Once done I played them back on the machine and they worked fine. Luckily I found some DVD+R which the machine recognised so I began transferring our old family videos. After a little research I realised that that type of disk is indeed not compatible. My first issue was that I had some DVD-R and the machine would not recognise the disks at all. I have borrowed a player which is a bush DVRHS02. I am trying to convert all my old vhs tapes and put them onto dvd.
