I have just captured VHS to DVD in Power Director Pro, as this the only way that I can configure, before some suggests an alternative. Then I dragged the video file from my hard drive to nero & burnt to DVDRW to which the quality of the DVD was crap all the colours running reds the most and the picture was pretty fuzzy not as good as the original VHS, so what am I doing wrong as I thought converting to DVD should be as good as the original source!

Macrovision I think is your problem. Its a "P.I.T.A." and not worth the hassle in my opinion to convert. -
VHS isn't great quality to begin with, and your method is far from the best.
Generally, one would capture via s-video, to either uncompressed (or lossless codec) avi, then encode, or capture to mpeg-2 at high enough bitrate to maintain quality, then author, and shrink if necessary.
What capture device are you using, that makes you think power director is the only one you can use?Comment

I to have had quailty problems when converting VCR to DVD. I have captured in AVI with the same result.
"capture to mpeg-2 at high enough bitrate to maintain quality"
What would be a good(best) bitrate rate to set up and copy at?Last edited by Grinch; 28 May 2005, 11:40 PM.Comment

As high as possible, but not exceeding 9000kbps video and 224kbps audio.
At that rate, you will fit about 40 minutes per dvdr.Comment
