convert a vhs format video to dvd

[shom44]

Hello,
I want to convert my vhs to dvd.
i have vhs device and easy-cap, but the resultion is very bad.
i check the resultion of the video (the video i'd convert) and is 720x576 and 25 frams.
but the resultion in tv is alot better...

if i buy dvd card with the same resultion the convert will be better?
how can i improve it?

sorry on the bad grammer and thank you!

What video codec(type) are you using to capture/record?

That's the resolution of VHS capture. It's standard Definition.

Your TV may be HD but upsizing a standard definition video like you're getting isn't going to give you HD quality. The information just isn't there. That's even more true for VHS capture than it would be for a DVD. Don't expect DVD quality let alone HD. Videotape isn't very good quality and you cannot really improve it digitally.

if i convert the video to dvd in resultion 720X576.
i be able to watch it in the same resultion in tv?
i mean if i will connect the vhs device to the TV it will the same quality like the convert?

So it doesn't really matter what your source is coming off ie an internal capture device or Easy Cap VHS the maximum resolution is going to be as follows
NTSC VHS is roughly equivalent to 333×480 pixels
PAL VHS offers the equivalent of about 335×576 pixels
Which is a far cry from 1920 x 1080 on HDTV.

You would do better to get a DVR or PVR and record digitally then use that to make a DVD if that's what you want and forget about a dead technology like VHS.

You keep saying "convert" ?
Is your original capture with the EasyCap 720x576 MPEG2?

Your capture device is 99.99% a fake Easy Cap (Bought from Ebay, "very cheap") and low quality (both build and capture).

Stop stop stop stop......
Yes fake Easycap devices are JUNK.....but that is not what I asked you.

Is your original capture with the EasyCap 720x576 MPEG2?

I own a PVR-350.....why?....because the 150's are known for audio problems.
