I have some old VHS tapes that I want to put on the net. I have captured some with wintv card and used windows media encoder to encode with fair results. I tried putting a few on You Tube and they don't look to bad. Of course I would like to get the most out of these old tapes as possible.

Virtual Dub is a great program but I would rather a simpler way of doing this. I am never quite sure what filter to use or other tweak so a simple program that gives good results would be fine.

On You Tube they recommend editing videos to MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240 resolution with MP3 audio for the best quality. I tried this but there seemed to be some digital breakup during transistions. Also the actual movie size you see on You Tube is 425 by 350 so why send smaller just to upsize?

I use You Tube because it is free and I can embed on my site. I do have lots of videos I have wanted to post but posting videos eats bandwidth so I have to rely on free service.
