I have some BetaSP tapes shoot with broadcast quality camera. I need to edit the footage for broadcasting, DVD, VCD, and VHS tape. First I need to get the footage on my workstation. i am planning on getting some to transfer/encode who has a BetaSP deck.

Based upon the comparison chart, DV quality is excellent without any qualifiers. Therefore, should I capture the BetaSP tapes to miniDV format or to DVD. I am afraid that DVD could not be as good as miniDV depending upon encoding. Therefore, going from BetaSP (analog) to miniDV (uncompressed) will yield the best and consistent results.

BetaSP to miniDV or BetaSP to DVD (mpeg2)?

Thanks.
