so i found some old VHS tapes of some concerts i taped back in 1980's using an old school shoulder strap recorder .
.. I took those tapes and burnt to DVD using the Magnovox ZV427MG9 DVD recorder & VCR
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=784038&Q=&is=REG&A=details
then I took the DVD and put in my computer and then used a software called "1Step DVD Copy" to convert to a file.
... **(The software lets you convert to .AVI or MP4 files)
Then I take those converted files and transferred to Windows Movie Maker so i can add captions, titles, fades, swipes etc...
NOTE: so far the lengths of the tapes has not been longer than 40 minutes of footage
but i recently did one that was (ONE hour and a HALF long)
and after watching back in WMV i notice it poor quality (bad pixels) here and there etc...
so i dont know of the length of the transfer can mess with the quality?
I went back and watch the DVD and compared the quality and the DVD is so much better
I also noticed on another one that sometimes the audio/video is not really synced up ... its just a bit off
... SO I GUESS MY QUESTION ARE:
1. am i losing quality of the DVD by transferring to AVI then to WMV etc.. ???????????
2. Whats the best to use to for finish version? .AVI .WMV .MOV (and why)
3. what causes the audio/video to get slightly off sync ?
4. can the length of the DVD to be converted contribute to the final version being bad quality?
5. how can i get a final version to be as good, as close, to the DVD ?
... THANKS AND AGAIN so sorry for the naive question but i appreciate any help, any thoughts

Of course you are. A lot. I'm assuming that by 'AVI' you mean XviD or DivX AVI. And then to WMV? And then to DVD?

There's a big thread on it here:
