what are you capturing?
dvsd and dv are 4:1:1 - lossy codecs. If you are capturing analog, DV is pretty terrible from what ive seen, and speaking from my meager experience, a well-produced mpeg-2 at 4:2:0 from a 4:2:2 source looks much better than a dv file at 4:1:1 at a fraction of the size.

live concert footage from the direct master tape
minidv, hi8, digital8, 8mm tapes
I'd prefer to keep everything as lossless as possible as these tapes are 14 years old in some cases and older so I know i'm in a race for time lol.

Do what now? 
- s-video is a wire/signal (separated video)
- Huffyuv is a digital computer lossless codec
| This was an unanswered question or unresolved issue found during a site audit. It's hard to have an FAQ when the answers are missing, or final outcomes are unknown. At The Digital FAQ support forum, questions are never intentionally ignored, and may have been missed due to a forum glitch or human error. More details on the audit.

Digital sources aren't captured. They're copied to a PC via Firewire. This would be a direct 1:1 copy, not a recording. DV is not lossless, so don't "record" it. Transfer it via Firewire. WinDV is a good app for it. DV is designed for PC-only playback.
Analog tape is best captured to lossless YUY2 with huffyuv or Lagarith lossless compression. Usually accomplished with a capture device and VirtualDub capture.
