Confused on the Capture and transfer process
I have some questions that I desperately need answering about using virtualdub to capture hi8/mini dv footage with firewire. I've tried and failed to do my own research for DAYS on all my questions, so many people say different things and I'm looking for a straightforward, replicable technique.
1. huffyuv vs lagarith for quality 2. What capture settings to use in virtual dub to get the best raw footage (i don't care about file size) 3. What settings to use for converting that footage to 60fps and upscale it to HD for viewing on youtube/Instagram etc 4. what compression codec to use for output that produces a high-quality, low-size file. Since I'm transferring with a DV port with a firewire card for both HI8 in a D8 camera and MiniDV, is all of this even necessary? I read that with DV transferring that since it's already digital there's no point in using a lossless codec since it's already compressed Thanks to everyone that helps out, I really appreciate it. |

If you have firewire at both ends ie out from the camera and in to the computer, definitely try a DV "transfer" using either WinDV or Scenalyzer. I've written a guide for using both here (Scenalyzer is has more features and on my system, works, whereas WinDV used to but no longer does).
WinDV guide Scenalyzer guide Once you've got your DV footage on the computer, then you can manipulate it. |

After deinterlace, upscale with Hybrid (Avisynth). Quote:
