I'm looking for help fixing a split screen issue.

[JonyVideo]

I use OBS to capture VHS tapes. Somehow my source screen is split between 2 videos on the top an bottom. It is not a tracking issue with the vcr. The split screen is on more than 1 VCR source. Can someone please help?

Here are some pictures of the split screen.

Did you find a solution to this problem? When plugging in two cameras and switching using the BlackMagic Design ATEM mini, one of the camera inputs was fine one minute, but then started doing this too. Even after quitting, unplugging, switching off and on again I couldn't fix it.

TIA!

It is not a tracking issue with the vcr.

Yes it is. Or more generally, it's a tracking issue *somewhere* between the tape itself and the capture card, including both of those and everything in between. At least one of those things is bad.

There's supposed to be a sync signal that practically forms a border around the picture, and you're not responding correctly to that sync. So the picture is wherever it happens to end up, and "wraps" around the actual borders.

I have exactly the same issue with the split screen. I want to convert a VHS tape to MP4. Anyone know how to fix this?

The behavior is consistent with the capture card being set to the wrong resolution for the device it's capturing.

Thanks a lot for your reply! I modified the Downscale filter to "sharpened scaling, 36 samples" and now it's fixed!

Any idea why i keep having this issue? I attach the log from OBS.

Probably because the video you're getting from the capture device isn't 640x480
