Forget what you read in the consumer mags about h264 being superior to MPEG. If you want standard definition h264, the BluRay/AVCHD specs include 720x480 standard definition for authoring to disc. Good luck, but your research is a little faulty. From my research, the H.264 format is currently superior (although H.265 is right around the corner).While I'm at it, I'd also like to burn to DVD. I have about 20 family VHS tapes that I need to convert to a digital video file and store on my computer. This is my first post on this forum, so bear with me. Just trying to get the best quality possible for archiving some memories, so thanks in advance for any help! What should my output framerate and bitrate be? And what about top field or bottom field first settings?
What should I set my output file resolution at (if VHS is 352x240, will setting it higher make a difference?)?Ħ. Do I need to de-interlace? Usually this seems to make the picture worse.ĥ. What is the best resolution for capture? 640x480?Ĥ. Should I be capturing in 60i, 30 or at 29.97?ģ.

Software recommendations for capturing?Ģ.
If I can use the capture card and VCR that I already have and get the same or better quality, I'd prefer to go that route.Īnd if using my capture card, then here are the questions I have:ġ. But I would like to get an opinion on a forum with users more involved with this type of work. Then rip the dvd image and transcode using VidCoder/Handbrake to an H.264 file. Some are recommending that the best method is to use a VCR/DVD combo recorder to directly transfer/burn my videos.

I've spent a good month playing with all of this testing various formats, but I'd still like to get a professional opinion from those of you with experience. PowerDirector defaults at 640 x480 seems to only capture at 60i but also seems to have the best picture. The first three are very similar and are all capable of capturing at 640 x 480 at 29.97 or 30 fps. So here's what else I've tried so far:Īll of these can capture raw uncompressed AVI. I also read many other accounts of the video and audio being out of sync in addition to how difficult and sensitive this program is. I simply was unable to capture any video (only audio). I've already tried my hand at VirtualDub as this seems to be the tool of choice for many, but after spending 4 hours playing with it, I gave up.
What I would like to know is the best settings for capturing and also for converting to final format (and the best tools used to get me there). I also have an Osprey 230 capture card capable of capture up to 640 x 480. I know using S-Video out would probably product a bit better picture, but I don't want to spend the extra if possible. I currently own a nice JVC 4-head VCR with a composite output. This way I'll get the highest quality of both. I'm thinking I could then take the edited video and export back as an uncompressed AVI, then run it through VidCoder to convert to the H.264 format. I'm figuring the best way to do this is to capture the video as an AVI file (I know it's huge), and then Edit in a video editing program and then burn to DVD.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to burn to DVD. From my research, the H.264 format is currently superior (although H.265 is right around the corner).
