Hello,
I have some old VHS recordings (vacations, parties) that are very important to me and I want to convert them to a digital portable format (not DVD), because I want to edit them first.
I want the best image quality possible.
As I don't have any VCR device, I am paying for this conversion as a service.
I asked for the films to be ripped to Xvid (with high quality settings). But the guy insists that Xvid is not the best format, because it gets compressed and that will affect quality.
But, he says, WMV (with "High Quality PAL 720X576" settings) will give me the best quality possible.
Well I think this is a bit strange, since I always believed the WMV is good for the web, mail and portable devices (because of the smaller size files)... but not for high quality video editing.
What do you think?
Thanks!
