Playing around with a JVC BR-S525U (or: why I hate DNR)

These aren't exactly fair comparisons, as I changed more than one setting between the two captures. After I did the first "DNR On" capture, I noticed that whites were clipping in several scenes, so I lowered the Contrast control of the ATI 600 USB from 32 down to 25. This was actually an overcorrection, so I have more captures in my future...

But hopefully it shows the clumpy, unnatural look and weird horizontal streaks that result with the DNR of this particular JVC model.

Capture chain:
JVC BR-S525U VHS player (no TBC card)
[7-pin to 4-pin S-Video cable]
Panasonic DMR-E10 DVD recorder (for TBC)
[S-Video cable]
ATI TV Wonder 600 USB

Capture A settings:
DNR On
Norm mode
Brightness 110, Contrast 32, Sharpness 0, rest default

Capture B settings:
DNR Off
Edit Mode
Brightness 110, Contrast 25, Sharpness 0, rest default
