Well now that I have messed around with the Grass Valley ADVC-HD50 I'm disappointed...
My JVC D-VHS decks will flawlessly decode and display the signal the GV box sends it on the JVCs composite video output, but if I record the signal from the GV box on the JVC it will play back with horrendous digital codec errors (especially if there is ANY motion in the video image) and basically no sound (there was a fraction of a second in the 15 minutes of testing I did).
This makes no sense to me that the JVC can decode the live signal but if I record it there's horrendous errors on playback. The only explanation I can come up with is that maybe the GV box has a higher bit rate than the tape can handle, but not higher than the JVCs recorder can handle...That or there's some weird trick formatting or copy protection in the signal.
Anyone else ever use a Grass Valley ADVC-HD50 with a JVC D-VHS deck?
If so how did it work for you?
