SIMA COLOR CORRECTOR PRO-SERIES MODEL SCC

Does anyone have any experience with this?  Am I better off using it for my Panny DVD recorder or through my capture card for best results?

I found only 1 article and it stated that these work quite nicely with a DVD recorder.  With that said I guess I need to understand my LD's settings better when it comes to the V-DNR and whether or not to use it and which connection would be better suited....s-video or composite(which I know gives a cleaner picture than the s-video on playback).

I believe this was the only model that had a composite connection and I got it for $35.00USD which wasn't bad.

Thanks in advance.

I found another tidbit that stated using the s-video in and the composite out for captures produces a better picture. 

I wish I was more fluent in all this stuff....it would certainly make it easier.  It's a good thing for me that there is a section here just for this kind of thing.

;)

Agreed.  Some of what I've learned led me to this purchase....now I've got to figure out what it's capable of and how to best utilize it for LD transfers......
