Capture format

[MaynardSlim]

Which format would be best to capture directly from TV with?

AVI at with a MPEG-2 format

Well if you had a huge hard drive, then I suggest you to select uncompressed lossless avi format. I prefer using Intel Indeo codec. Most of the internet user prefer DivX codec for space consideration.

I meant AVI or MPEG-2 Format

Thanks you guys.

Most of my capture has been from videotape and my capture size is 352x480. Should i use the same for the direct sat-tv capture?

Whatever looks the best to you, really. Like alcskid said though I would use a lossless codec like Indeo or HuffYUV
