Hi, so im trying to digitize home family videos. I have the sony handycam ccd-tr506 NTSC. I got an easycapture cable to plug in into my mac computer and downloaded OBS. the first few minutes of video i had no problems, it showed exactly as the tape inside de camera (no static/scratchy) images, but when the video changes to another day (the one that was ok was one continuous shot i don't know if that's relevant) it suddenly had no color and was like scratchy images, the sound was ok. But what i wanna know is why the OBS app shows me this video in poor quality but when i look at the tape using the camera it shows fine? Is it my cables? why did the first shot present ok but the second one not ?
