E30 picture and mpeg-dnr settings

[scottymac]

Which settings do you use and for what?

Normal, soft, fine, cinema or do you manually adjust?

How about mpeg-dnr? On or off, or do you define your own settings?

I appreciate your input.

Anyone have any suggestions about these items?

To answer my own question, I have found that the standard Normal and DNR-NR on looks great.

I am hoping the panny guys and galls might be able to offer some advice/input into preferred settings.

For home movie vch to dvd conversions, which is the better settings (XP or SP)? Obviously it would be XP, however, is the downgrade from 1 hour to 2 hour that noticeable? that and are the default settings the way to go, or has someone found the "magix" settings for SP mode?

I find a noticeable difference between XP and SP, but I'm as ultra-super-critical as they come. SP is really quite good, but you can find a little bit of "pixellation" or whatever when things move, and it's just all a tiny touch less "sharp" overall compared to XP. XP clears up that "motion" stuff just fine, and is very nice and sharp.

I have stuff where picture quality is my Number One priority, even if I'm just dubbing from VHS, and I use XP on that. I'm on a mission to save stuff on no less than about 1,500 VHS tapes, and dang if I'm gonna save some of that stuff at any less than the best quality I can get. I have other stuff where picture quality isn't all that critical, and then I economize and record that at SP.

Hope that helps!
