Hi!
I am trying to convert my VCR tapes into digital files on my computer.
I dont have a video capture card, so what I am doing is recording from my VCR onto my Canon DVCam ZR10, and then capturing from the DVCam using Adobe Premiere 6.5. This makes large AVI's on my computer.
Now their is a very obvious difference in the quality of the captured video vs what I see on TV or even what I see on the recorded DV tape! The DV tape/TV have a lot more detail. The captured video is dull and muddy.
Now -
1. Does it make a difference if I buy a capture card and capture straight from the VCR instead of going via the DVCam route? If so - which card do you recommend?
2. The size of the AVI's is huge! I have found that converting to quicktime files w/sorenson compression works pretty good. Is there a better quality way?
thank you very much for all help!
