How do I get highest quality analog video capture
I am using MS Movie Maker and recorder from my VCR to my tuner card (I am
running a Dell E510 running XP MCE). All worked fine with capturing, saving to my HD and creating a DVD. The problem I have is that the playback quality is poor. When I play back the contents from the DVD on my TV or when I play back the contents on my computer, it seems like it has lost about 20% of the videos clarity. I am going to be moving all of my old analog family tapes to HD, but I want to keep it as high quality as possible. I guess I really have two questions: 1 - Is there a way to do this and end up with little or no quality loss? 2 - Should I be using some other software to perform the video capture? Thanks |

How do I get highest quality analog video capture
What format did you save the captured movies in?
A good answer to this type of capture is to purchase a Dazzle80 or Dazzle90 which is a pass-through device you can hook the RCA and/or SVideo cables into. IT connects to the computer via USB and will likely give you the best results possible under the circumstances. -- -Wojo MVP - Windows Digital Media Wojo's Web: www.wojos-web.co.nr "Dan" wrote in message ...
