how to put vhs 2 dvd with ati allInWonder

[wizdawg]

i want to put my vhs home vids onto dvd-r. i am planning on using my ati all in wonder radeon to put the vhs video onto my computer. my question is this....

there are so many differernt qualities to choose when you use the ati software. eg(mpeg1, mpeg2, vcd, ect). which one shoud i choose if i want to imort that video clip into ulead movie factory 2 to use as my authoring software.

would what i wrote work for this task i want to complete?

post a response here or AOL IM me at wizdawg2

thanks

It really depends on what you want to do. The easiest thing to do is to capture the video to MPEG2 (in DVD supported format: resolution 720x480/352x480/352x240 and audio at 48khz), then just load in Ulead, author and burn.

This most likely will not produce 'the best' quaility, but from a VHS source it might be 'more than good enough' for most captures.

The other route is to capture to avi (uncompress or with a lostless codec like huffyuv or picvideo), then apply filters as desired to 'clean up the picture', and frameserve to an MPEG2 encoder (CCE, TMPGenc, mainconcept, etc). Then author from that MPEG2 file.

See the capture and convert guides to the left for more info. Remember that you really can not get better quaility than your source. For most VHS captures I've just gone the easy/lazy route and capture to MPEG 352x480 and just author from that.

Vejita-sama is right ....

applying a 2d cleaner in v-dub really helps vhs tapes though also

how much better is the video if i use those filters?

seeing that i dont know much about this stuff, it might be too hard LOL is it worth it?
