And I think DJ is using the Flunk version, which I think was said to be a straight port of the digi tapes used as a source of the TV broadcasts and that's why it is so much better than the others. And it would IMO also mean that the smearing is due to DVNR and not the way it was captured.

No, it would depend on what card they used to capture the tape to the PC. This kind of smearing was very common with cheaper early capture cards. i had one years ago and it did the exact same thing, but there was no way of stopping it.

Hi,

I hope this is the right thread to ask, I'm very interested in how the DVB-S rips of 97 SE (REIVAX, GKar, Flunk, TB) were taken?

I always thought that the authors of that rips connected DVB-S reciever to Digi BetaCam recorder somehow digitally and then transferred the data from Digi Beta tape to PC also digitally (via FireWire).

But according to what Adywan says the transfer from the Digi Beta tape to the PC was done via an analogue way. Does anyone know how exactly? Via RGB? And how was DVB-S reciever connected to the Digi BetaCam recorder? Also via RGB or via some digital way?

Thank you for your answers :-)
