Hi all

I'm still a newbie with videos and I have a couple of questions about capturing from a miniDV camera with Ulead. First thing Ulead asks when capturing is to choose a "project template". By testing with different options (i.e., PAL DV, SVCD, VCD, ...), it seems it always ends up creating the same AVI file with the same size. What is the purpose of project templates? Which one should I choose? How is it related to the "Make movies" templates? (by the way, I don't remember now the version of ULead, but I'm afraid it is not the latest one)

Second question: is there a difference (in format, size, quality, resolution, ..) between the miniDV data in the tape and the AVI (I guess uncompressed) file created by ULead during the capture?

Thanks for nay help
