Hi,
I have read this very useful guide at
http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...-settings.html
I am capturing hi8/video 8 tapes as per details below in
virtualdub and I have some questions:
Resolution: 720x576
PAL/NTSC: PAL
FPS: 25
Colour space compression: YUY2
Compression:
Huffyuv V2.1.1
Questions for best quality:
Q1: YUY2 compression = Predict Median or Predict Left?
Q2: RGB Compression = Predict Gradient or Predict Left?
Once I have captured, and I start applying filters outside of capture mode in virtual dub etc
Q3: What should my video compression settings be for
Huffyuv – I assume the same?
Q4: Video Colour depth – what should be set for “decompression format” and “output format to compressor”?
I believe the filters only work in RGB, so should I convert to RGB if doing filter work to avoid going from YUY2 to RGB over and over again loosing quality? Can I capture in RGB to start with?
Q5: Should “smart rendering” be on or off?
Thank you.
