I am capturing VHS to HDD (AVI format) and would like the "best" quality possible; be it, kvcd or ksvcd. My first question is should the initial capture (*.avi) have an equal resolution of that of the final output? i.e. if output is ksvd (352*480) should initial be the same?
Next, which kvcd template will give me the best quality results on cdr/dvd; ksvcd/kvcd.. and should I leave the template settings at their default values? What does lowering/raising the CQ do?
I was told in a previous thread that frame serving from Virtualdub to TMPGEnc is not desired; is this correct and to demux the audio/video to reduce sync issues.. then mux the two in tmpgenc?
Apparently, Avisynth is the "kvcd way" but I have no experience with it; having been to the forum.
If someone could post basic Avisynth scripts necessary (or which scripts to use) for denoising, cut/trim; this might be sufficient as I am not yet at a level where applying multiple scripts is necessary. All of the encoding movies will be played back on a stand alone dvd player so deinterlacing is not needed?
Thanks for your support; as I am determined to get the best from KVCDs!
