In my opinion, DV HQ is fine to use if you are going from Capture to DVD (or viewing on PC) directly or with a minimum of editing. The quality of DV & DV HQ are almost the same. The capture sizes V2D offer work out to these approximent file sizes: If you recorded at the minimum quality you may be stuck and need to do some testing before pouring hours of work into this! When capturing, I would capture to avi format since that gives the best quality with the least compression but large file sizes.īTW, don't try to compare Hollywood created DVDs to something created with what we do - they use programs that cost $1000 to do their compression. If you have low quality video such as SP from VHS then don't try to put more then 60 minutes of video on a DVD otherwise it will be unwatchable. The more video you try to squeeze an a DVD, the higher the compression and the lower the quality. This was the only bit of info I saw by Jim Hardin, because the issue was not addressed, but this is strictly VHS to DVD.įile size means nothing when it comes to DVD, its the time length of the video and the selected quality that determines how much video you can get on a standard 4.7GB DVD. This was the only bit of info I saw by Jim Hardin, because the issue was not addressed, but this is strictly DVD time. I would like to put a percentage of video on dvd, and the majority could go to an external drive.but the last part is dependent on how much I could store. I'm not sure how compression would factor in, especially in transferring to a dvd disc, but overall what is the breakdown? Primarily, if I have VHS tapes that are 6 to 8 hours long of video content, recorded at SLP (or now know as EP) on T-120 or T-160 VHS tapes.if I'm wanting the absolute best quality or quality equal to that of the tape.what file size am I ultimately looking at for "1" 6-8hr long tape? AVI or MPEG-2 the standard and best quality format to use, if I want the best or equal quality of the VHS tape when transferring to digital? What is the breakdown in length of tape, at a particular quality to different video format types to file size? Is.
That doesn't make a lot of sense when standard DVD's these days hold up to 4+ hours of high quality video and content, or more, on one disc.and that doesn't include blu-ray, which holds a capacity of 25gb.
I didn't see a thread specifically on transfer size, format, and retaining quality.īefore using Easy VHS to DVD, I've been trying to get some answers before starting the process, since it will be a lengthy one, and have been discouraged so far in what I've read on multiple levels.įrom my understanding, 1 hour of VHS tape = a file size of 14gb.
