Hey there, hope this is the right place to ask. I’m currently trying to digitize some Video8 tapes and have run into a problem.

When playing back any tape the video is all wobbly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hp1COPBosw

I’m playing the tapes on a Siemens FA 194, as far as I know this is the camera the tapes were originally recorded on. The output on my screen when in camera mode looks perfectly fine.

I use an EasyCAP adapter with the MBA22N chipset for recording to my PC which has previously worked fine for recording PS2 gameplay. Could this be the problem? If so, what should I buy?
