| 435305 | 2006-03-04 03:33:00 | WinXp OS. I want to transfer standard PAL video tapes to DVD. I know I need a TV Tuner card with Video Capture. Which is the best card (at reasonable cost) to do the job. I have A/V output sockets on the VCR so presumably I need A/V in sockets on the card. Any ideas please? I would also like to be able to record TV programs as well. |

I just use tuner cards with video in (Leadtek cards). And all I do, is plug video out from the VCR to video in, use the Winfast program, to capture the video and plug audio out to line in on the soundcard to get sound. |

| 435308 | 2006-03-04 06:07:00 | Its a 2 step prcess, capturing to harddrive, then authoring to DVD. For optimal quality you want to use a codec that does as little compressing as possible, This will create large files though, and the authoring process may take longer. If you want quick and nasty, capture straight to mpeg2, then author to DVD, tell it not to re-code compliant video. For quality, Capture using the Huffy codec, then author to DVD. For a capture card you should be looking at the range that has onboard encoders, something like the Hauppauge PVR150MCE TV Tuner , which may even do an excellent job of capturing directly to mpeg2, I have been meaning to source one and try it out. Which would make most of this post reduntant :rolleyes: For authoring to DVD I use Ulead products, they have free trials..... |
