The Magnavox buffer is almost completely oblivious to MacroVision or CGMS and will record almost anything while it is running, unlike the manual and timer modes which stick more closely to standard restrictions. This "buffer" is interrupted and erased whenever you change input sources, or start a manual or timer recording on the HDD. The Magnavox starts recording to its HDD in the background as soon as you turn it on, much like a TiVO, in a six hour loop. It is hard to explain the steps without both of us having a Magnavox in front of us, but here is the gist:ġ. For another, the Pioneer interface is much slicker and more intuitive: the Magnavox uses a cryptic system of icons and symbols at the top of the screen to manipulate its buffer.

For one thing, Pioneers do not have automated background buffers. The process isn't that difficult, its just totally alien to long-term Pioneer owners like you and me.
#Zorrilla video filter how to
I haven't heard of a Zorilla filter.Ī friend of mine (who bought a Mag 513 on my recommendation) recently showed me how to record to the Magnavox HDD buffer, dump the selected contents to the HDD nav system, and make a DVD from it. It's not cheap(I believe $169) but I believe they are custom built and I've read have a higher quality output. The Video Filter I was referring to is sold by a AVS member Logic Design.

#Zorrilla video filter full
If I feed it with a DVD player that has full output adjustments(brightness, contrast, gamma) I can get the output after the filter to look OK(not great but just OK) but one of my Simas works great and needs no such adjustments I took the other two apart and found no adjustments(I was hoping for a pot to adjust) so I guess it's just the luck of the draw with most tending to be overly bright. I have 3 Sima CT-2s and 2 tend to mess with the brightness and contrast. I hope to work with that some more when I get back to doing xfers, since I never used it enough to form a solid conclusion about its effectiveness. Zorilla, if that is the one being referred to - and it was much better, though it sometimes went back & forth between 4:3 & 16:9, as if confused.

(Some said this was due to inconsistent QC in the device mfr., varying from sample to sample.) But I found it unacceptable. Those were the least of the problems I had with the Sima CT-200, which suffered from constant and very annoying color shifts and light/dark/light shifts. I've never ran across a DVD or BR my Sima wouldn't correct but again the downside I have to live with is about a +7.5 IRE increase in black level, most noticeable with white titles on a black background.įor someone doing things commercially like LS a TBC is the best option but IMO for someone who just wants to copy a few commercial VHS tapes or DVDs a TBC a bit of an overkill. Also a cheap VHS filter will not remove DVD CP, you need one that recreates the VI for DVD/PPV, like the old Sima CT-2/200's did or something like a Grex or Video Filter does now days. I've had good luck with various filters although many have the tendency to lighten the blacks. While I agree a TBC is the best solution, it's also the most expensive and bulky.
