Operating instructions for Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD recorders that includes information for both a SCART version of the recorder and a US version of the recorder: Upconversion is not wanted/advised most of the time, this does not add any advantage, this also means that sometimes the aspect ratio changes or have added black bars at the sides. Important is that you know what the tv-system format of your video tapes are, are they PAL, NTSC, or MESECAM and will the VHS player/vcr output that also correctly, an EU/SCART (dvd/combo) recorder should be no problem to pass that through, or record, pre-recorded (official duplicates) can have copy protection in the form of Macrovision. I guess which codec you use to capture, makes some difference too, lossless or invisible lossless is preffered.įurther… frame rate differs, PAL and NTSC have different frame rates both 2 fields due to the mains frequency of EU 50Hz and USA 60Hz there's a wiki that explains it very well, for Vdub there are already many posts about this on the forums. VHS is also outputed over this ofcourse… most of the time interlaced or progressive can be selected, The EU/SCART models should also be selected for component video, and not for RGB, because RGB SCART and RCA component can't be used at the same time, the manual has all the info for that. If you have a good Analog to Digital (SDI or HDMI) converter, you can also try the (red green blue) RCA component output when available, and when The other difference i know also is the blacklevels are different between NTSC and PAL > IRE Will check out the "sticky" you mention as well. I was starting to wonder if my post was visible to others so you have put my mind at ease for that. If all is fine w/using the ES-10 after converting the power w/o no setting change, then that is perfect and what I was hoping to find out here. Would this difference, despite converting the volts / amps and hz from UK to N.American standard necessitate a change in any setting in capture software. lower hz.50hz over there instead of 60hz here. America due to the input power supply difference i.e. I am wondering if this is necessary for those of us that use devices such as a UK a version of this recorder in N. I thought I had read somewhere on this forum a while back that prior to capture there is an option, say in Vdub or maybe it was another software, that one can pick a hz setting prior to capture ie. I am familiar with the SCART connection and it's benefit over composite connections. Thank you much for your response Eric-jan.
