This webpage gives examples of video stabilisation that can be achieved with various DVD recorders. Note that the DVD function is not used; only the internal circuitry is used to ingest the VCR/camcorder signal and then output a stabilised signal to the digitiser. It is preferable to use S-video cables in and out. As well as some Panasonic DVD recorders, some Sony and Pioneer units can be used, as described in this VideoHelp post. I have the PAL versions of the Panasonic ES-15, EH-57, ES-35 and EZ-48. All have the same strong stabilising properties. I also have a Sony HXD-890, which isn’t as strong a stabiliser as the Panasonics; I use it with tapes that don’t need strong stabilising. For my setup guide for the PAL ES-15, see my page here.

ES15 Note: comment from poster when asked if any post-processing was done: “Only deinterlacing, I think I did accidentally leave the noise reduction on the DMR-ES15 on, also I think I accidentally had my capture card on slightly different color settings”
