I want to do digital and do not know where to begin. Here is what I want to do. I want to restore video. By this I mean I have some old Black and White video I want to sharpen up as good as I can. But I also want to make a mask or even go in and edit frame by frame to remove video time (frame) counters on some old clips that I have. This is strictly a hobby and will not be sold. There should be no copywrite troubles. Some of the material I borrowed and put to DVD which I already see was a mistake. The quality is good to excellent. Can I convert the DVD files back to AVI? I do have some of the video on high quality 3/4" u-matic tapes and I have a Sony 3/4 " player. I have used a box I got in England called an ACE to clean, sharpen and adjust contrast (it is also an analog TBC and Macrovision remover as well as a standards converter. I read all of your articles in the FAQ section and it muddied up the situation. Is there any hope of doing this on a computer? The only capture device I have is one of those Convert-X boxes from Plextor. I do not now if this will do the job. Can I do this frame by fram restoration with Premier Pro and Photoshop? Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
