Hey guys, perhaps some will have slight interest in this. I'm trying to digitize two Star Wars VHS tapes I made back around 1999/2000-ish. If you have interest in any of this this content I can upload it. It has a lot of coverage from that era:

The problem is, I have pretty mediocre equipment. I bought a $20 capture device off Amazon and have an old VHS player that's probably worth $10. See here:

When trying to capture the VHS the tracking on the VCR is not very good. The audio will often fuzz out or the screen will flicker blue. Does anybody have a good idea how to fix this or optomize my capture using the equipment I have?

Thanks!

P.S. Love this site for the short amount of time I've been lurking. Just trying to give back to the community! --Hopefully someone is interested in this stuff.
