Captured the videos, now what's next?
Hi all,
Basically I've captured most of my videos now, yet I'm thinking what's the next step? I captured in HuffyUV, and looking at the files they are very large, and as VHS tended to be(30-90gb), there a lot of different scenes/events. Question:

1. Yes, I would.
2. Yes. 3. No. 4. Plex assumes H.264, and I'd use Hybrid. Deinterlace may be required, testing needed. You'll probably want to resize the video from 720x480 to 640x480 (NTSC, right?) |
4) No, PAL :) - Live in Denmark.
Is there some basic restoration that's always needed that can run somewhat automated, or is that usually a bad idea? |
PAL 4x3 resize for interlace would be 768x576. You cannot resize the x480/x576 value, or it will break interlace.
PAL resize for deinterlaced is better as 720x540. NTSC still 640x480. All video tapes have - chroma noise - fixed with line TBC in VCR, LSI chipset (for DVD recorders), Camcorder Color Denoise (CCD) filter in VirtualDub (for captures) - overscan noise - mask with black, 2-pixel increments, and it re-centers remaining image - grain - generally only a mild NR is used, so as low value Temporal Smoother (VirtualDub) That ignores all color issues, which all homemade camcorder tapes tend to have. |
