We started this discussion on another forum I'm on and I wanted to get input from others. We're talking about archiving old VHS tapes to either mini DV and/DVD and looking for thoughts/input.

Have people archived their VHS to either of these media and if yes, any reccomendations?

If archiving to DVD, do you capture as an avi and then just burn it to DVD to be able to use it in projects later, or do you capture/encode as MPEG-2 for the DVD?

Any resources on archival quality of different DVD-r brands?

thanks for sharing your input/ideas!
