    Resolution for capture of Hi8->DVD

    I´d like to capture video from a Hi8 recording (thru SVHS cabel). What resolution shall I capture in to preserve the quality from the Hi8 tape? I don´t want the file size to be huge if it doesn´t improve the quality. Is it overkill to capture in 720x576 to have it compatible when I sooner or later will have access to a DVD recorder. Right now I will put it on a SVCD. Is Hi8 compareble to SVCD resolution 480x576? (I´m using PAL-standard)

    Best regards//Lars

    The higher the capture resolution, the better the quality...

      Digital8-Handycams are having an integrated AVtoDV-changer.
      If you want to spend the money in a new Cam you get a digital remastering (704x576 pal) of your hi8-tapes directly in your firewire-port.
