VCR to DVD, video card and recording format
VCR to DVD, video card and recording format
I have exhausted the search facility and still require advice, hints, or tips on transferring video from a VCR to DVD via a PC. The VCR plays both VHS and NTSC, thus I assume the output is a standard something …
I also assume that I will require a specialist video capture card, but here are several variants in the market covering a wide range of prices. I have no need for a TV receiver module in the PC nor for home video download. However, I would like a reasonably large sized DVD format for projecting video during presentations. I burn CD / DVD with Nero 6, use Windows XP on a Dell Dimension 4550. DVD playback will be predominantly via PC.
What would be an optimum video capture card for a low time user?
What are the advantages of the various MPEG formats, or is avi still viable?
