I have many vhs tapes I want to transfer to DVD. Some are high quality
SVHS home movies that I want to keep as high quality as possible on
the DVD. Some are low quality, mono sound, that I'd like to fit as
much as possible onto a DVD ( 3 or 4 hours).
Since I may be working on several different DVD projects at any one
time, I need to keep the 'raw' captured (.avi ?) files as small as
possible. How can I capture the low quality VHS tapes with smaller
file sizes ? Note that I will be doing extensive editing and
combining, since most of these tapes are form 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hour
long, so I need easily editable files.
I have Nero 6, also have trial version of Ulead VS 8. Would not like
to spend a lot of money on software, < $100 if possible
thanks for any recommendations
