| 89253 | 2002-10-14 22:59:00 | I want to copy a VCR to avi. I have no experience in copying/editing/compressing video. My friend has a video capture card, a VCR and Ulead Video Studio 4 (off the PC World CD a while back). How would I go about copying a cassette to avi. would I need extra hardware? would I need better/different software? How much disk space would it take? Note the video is 3 hr long. (i heard that avi is 13gb/hr!!!) Thanks in advance Dylan |

| 89255 | 2002-10-15 04:51:00 | all depends on which codec you use. mpeg1 is horrible but mpeg4 is so sweet. there are a few different mpeg4 codecs. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 89256 | 2002-10-24 22:38:00 | Been down this road, more than once ... Try www.vcdhelp.com as a starting point. I use 2 options 1) PowerDVD for recording on air TV programs for viewing later. Can also be used to do a quick and dirty VCR tape to VCD conversion. Quality so so 2) For converting VCR tapes to SuperVCD for playing in DVD's an PC's, I use TMPGen, etc to create the MPG2's etc. Lots of time consuming work to get the optimum quality up. But all the details are in the VCD help forums |
