Some quick notes on digitizing an awful lot of things, including these VHS tapes. 
I consulted with about a dozen people about all the 'right' ways to do this, trying to avoid making a stupid mistake or missing a detail. In all, we ended up revisiting the codec settings, the application, the hardware, the way to tell if threre's other issues.. It's boring.
But it's ALL boring. Anybody can digitize one or two things. A few can do a dozen. Very few can do 50 and almost nobody can do 500, without compensation. Compensate people digitizing things they don't have a vested interest in being digitized. (I am being compensated.)
As I move through this set, I've come up with a process that doesn't require my constant babysitting. With luck, I'll go through a lot of these tapes. I'm also seeking a permanent home for them, and it'll be Internet Archive if there's no other place directed at Anime.
That's that!
