Re: problems dubbing video static from VHS to miniDV

I recorded the VHS, and was trying to dub using a deck. Not sure about rca
passthrough, but I'll look into it if other attempts aren't fruitful. I do
have a mac.

Thanks for the advice, Larry. It is indeed a sync loss issue--the deck was
reporting "no sync" during periods which turned out to be droupout. I'll
try an analog capture to FCP next.
