Hi, I just got a miniDV camcoder and is ready to capture my first video with Ulead VideoStudio9. There are several capture options available including capture as DV or DVD. I plan to convert my video to DVD. How should I capture my video as DV-1 or DVD. Thanks for your help.

Hi alexasha,
DV AVI is much better suited to editing, but will require encoding (by Ulead I guess) at a later stage for DVD.
Capturing to MPEG (which, I'm guessing, is what'll happen if you choose DVD) will be quicker coz there'll be no, or minimal, encoding required before authoring to DVD - but the quality may be less.
Whether the loss in quality is noticeable or imprtant - only you can decide.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.
Carpe diem.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. -

Quality will be less than the technique above but does speed the process for applications like TV capture. Editing will be more coarse in MPeg2. Also any higher compression than 7,000Kbps VBR + MP2 audio will take a much faster CPU. -
Thanks for the input. I understood that capture as DV-1 with capture video and audio in two separate files. DV-2 will capture both as one. I am more interested in quality video but my audio (comment) would not require high quality. Am I right to assume that it would be easier to capture as DV-2?
Again, thanks for the help -
