Thank you very much. I'll take your advice. Studio 12 is actually what I have.
A couple more questions... For example, I captured VHS at 720x480. It was set for 4:3 but when I playback the video in Media Player or Real Player it seems to be 1.5 aspect ratio, but looks unstretched. I see this site suggests 352x480 so maybe I'll try that.
I set to capture as avi, but there is a background rendering codec to choose. If i set it to automatic, I think it uses a dv codec. The other option is mpeg 1/2 or browse to my own codec. DV is not what I want and mpeg is lossy right? Is this where HuffyYUV comes in?
Thanks for suggesting Hi8 cameras. Since my tapes are only video8 I was wondering if there would be any benefit (or drawback) to using the Hi8 camera. I'll get a Hi8 camera (non-digital) and I suppose it will have S-Video. If anything the Hi8 will be a newer camera model than my original camera.
There are settings for color, hue, contrast, brightness, sharpness during capture. Should I leave these flat and fix later with a good editing program? Assuming the capture preview looks the same as on a TV.
I'll try to make a donation. Thanks again.
