SO, now my question, anyone that did dvds/vcds for "the work" "white room" etc... if you did it from a vhs, what steps of capturing, encoding, etc did you use to get into mpeg2?

Primarily I've been recording onto my DV camera and then firewire onto the PC. Now that I have a fast machine I will be converting all my laserdiscs and VHS tapes to DVD and will be hooking up a VCR to the PC. Not sure how that will work yet. My camera also allows a pass thru : vhs-dv-pc without having to record. The drawback of using DV is that it saves as avi. So 1 hour is 12gb of data. When I was editing last years home movies down to a 35m film I had six tapes to store, then to encode and reencode as I tested and reedited stuff, then the dvd folders which were 4gb alone Damn near 100gb just for that project. So glad when I was finally able to delete that folder! -paul
