Hello-I want to get the best quality video I can from Hi8 tapes via Svideo and I have been playing around with VirtualDub. I would like to capture with Virtual Dub(instead of ATI MMC, Ulead Video Studio 5 or Premiere6.0) and open the clips in these other applications to edit.
The only capture driver I have is the Microsoft WDM capture driver. I have an ATI Rage Theatre Capture driver, but I don't think it works with Virtual Dub. Can I use Huffyuv or some other drivers for good quality capture? I think there may some issues with the Huffyuv and my ATI Raedon7500 video card.
If I want to capture full-frame, full motion video from Hi8, convert it to a DV format so I can import it to miniDV tape. What is the ideal resolution to do that? I also like to make VCDs of the same project.
I was hoping I could get some capture tips from VirtualDub users. Thanks in advance-Ron B
