I am using a program by a company called Honestech called VHS-to-DVD 7.0. I do not have a outboard video card.
When I open the program it shows a page where I can select PAL or NTSC.
The PAL VCR I bought comes with a PAL>NTSC converter box to use the player on a US TV. I was going to try using that converter between the PAL player and the Honestech capture device and try capturing in NTSC. But that will downgrade the overall quality and I was hoping to avoid that.
I also have a program that came with the computer called Cyberlink Power Director 10 I might try.
Here is a example of the problem. It's a sort of "ripping" or "tearing" effect especially when camera moves side to side or subject moves.
