Capturing and Encoding
Ok have started trasnferrign some of my old VHS and 8mm tapes and I have a few questions. I am using ULEAD Video Studio SE 7 and I can output to VDC, AVI and MPEG (It seems MPEG-1)
First, which of these puts me in the best starting position to then encode to a DVD compatible format?
Second, I ran one of the MPEG files through TMPGEnc and I ended up with a video file with no sound and a separate .wav file. Is this correct? If so I am assuming that I can then use TMPG DVD Author to turn these into VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS sets or, even, and .ISO image, right?
Third, If I can go this way, do I need to but TMPGEnc and TMPG DVD Author? (My budget is limited) Is Author just a more funtions version or will it not do the encoding I need?
Third, I have a version of NERO Vision that automatically encodes these MPEGs to VCD. When I make the DVD selection, it says I need to purchase the DVD Video Plug In. Will this basically do the same thing to my MPEG1 for a DVD as it did for the VCD? (Which I will add played fine and did what I wanted albeit at a somewhat lesser quality than my source playing on my computer)
Is there any program that I can run the MPEG through and just get an ISO or set of VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders? If so I would imagine I could use shrink on the latter to make my ISO and burn with DVDdecrypter.
I'm basically trying to avoid having to buy another capturing program since I tried that and it was a piece of junk. (Stay away form ProPix EVE) I am not to concerned with adding chapter and menus for these, it is mostly a case of having something I can play on my DVD player that won't waste away like tapes do. My knowledge is somewhat limited and I can really figure out is how to burn an ISO or use a program that does the encodign for me in the background, like NERO I guess, so that's why I'm trying to figure out how to get form MPEG1 to ISO or VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.
Sorry if these questions are elementary or redundant, but hopefully someone can understand what steps I am not getting and spell it out for me from point A to B to C. (Captured MPEG through Encoding Program to DVD)
