I captured 90 VHS tapes now and plan to convert them to H.264 with little correction work.
I'd like to split the videos by scenes as identified by fades when the video was taken. I once used Vegas to capture video and it did this automatically, but I learned that flow was flawed so I have now captured using a high quality VHS player, TBC, and
Virtualdub HuffYUV as an avi.
Is there an automatic way to split the videos? I have read you can set a split at a certain time (e.g. 20 min), but that will not be natural enough.
I'd like to color correct, but worry about the time commitment. Do I need to do each scene separately given parts of the captured VHS video are likely different? Any software the decently does this automatically?
Can I use Adobe Premier to remove noise at bottom of screen or do I need to use
Virtualdub to do it right?
Can I use Adobe Media Encoder to encoded the video to H.264 and still expect quality results? I figure I can encode these all with only one month of subscription. Or I can use an encoder from Vegas and expect quality? I am not sure if there are differences in how these encode?
What settings should I use to encode? These are NTSC captured in 720x480
huffyuv 32bit using virtualdub.
Thanks.
