Newbie question: VHS to DVD

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I just bought a PCI capture card and I need to know the best software to use
to capture and record high quality video to burn on DVD, using S-Video
input, price is not an issue. What format can I use to get the highest
quality? MPEG-2? It doesnt matter how big the file size is.

thanks

Well is you want the best then take a look at Sony Vegas 5, Ulead
Media Pro 7 and Adobe Premiere Pro
Sony Vegas 5 is very popular
Adobe Premiere Pro has been around for a long time
If you are new to video then Ulead Media Pro 7 would be easier to use
then the other two.
Mpeg-2 is the choice to create a DVD video.

If money is no problem then you should consider getting an analog to
digital converter such as Canopus ADVC-100 and a firewire card.
