Trying to increase my knowledge … for conversion of SVHS tapes, edit in VMS, and eventually onto DVD.
Read on the “Digital Faq” that you should capture using uncompressed (YUY2) or Low Compression codec (
HUFFYUV)
I’m using a DV capture device (ADVC300) , and running the capture feature on
Sony Vegas, this defaults to DV or DVD …. I select DV and looking at resultant saved file details is shows:
Format : Digital Video
Codec ID : dvsd
Codec ID/Hint : Sony
Duration : 1h 18mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 24.4 Mbps
Width : 720 pixels
Height : 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 5:4
Original display aspect ratio : 4:3
Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 25.000 fps
Standard : PAL
Resolution : 8 bits
Colorimetry : 4:2:0
Scan type : Interlaced
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 2.357
Stream size : 15.8 GiB (95%)
Should I be looking at changing the codec to
HUFFYUV ? ……
Set up is
PAL SVHS VCR - TBC - ADVC300 - IEEE1394 PC
