[Hidden-tech] Converting VHS Video to Digital Video with a Twist

[Steve Unkles]

That sort of thing is baked into my workflow since the A/V offset can be shifted without re-encoding either stream.

 Maybe an idea - I recently found I had to use a tool so I could record 
TV shows and then skip commercials - something I got very used to with 
years of using Tivo.

Anyway, to the point, I found recording did have shifts in video vs 
audio (haven't found why yet).
What I did find you might find useful is that the OBS Sudio has a 
delay/shift function on the audio track.
I found 3-5 ms was all that was needed - more details here:

I have converted many VHS tape without any issues, so I would think it 
depends on the equipment used.  I have a Zenith xbr716 and VC500 video 
capture if that tells you anything.

Good luck - Rich
