Capturing VHS for conversion to DVD format |
|
|
This is all very new and very technical to me. But --and this is
a big "but", as Pee-Wee Herman used to say-- I couldn't
resist the temptation to transfer some of my VHS movies onto
DVD format.
Of course, most of what I have on video cassette is already out
on DVD at a fraction of the price I originally paid for them.
What's more, they're incredibly better in quality and have all
kinds of bonus feature that were almost impossible to obtain
on tape.
So, slowly but surely, I've bought some of the movies I have
on cassette and added a few more titles I didn't have in my
collection.
However, I have at least three movies that are not yet out
on DVD and possibly will take years to come out in that
format.
So I bought a DVD burner and a Hauppage Win-TV card
for my computer, connected my VCR to the appropriate
jacks, installed all the necessary software, synchronized my
remote control fingers and attempted to transfer VHS into
DVD. Sounds simple? Yeah, right. It _sounds_ simple!
The only real difficulty I found was the poor quality of the
finished product. That is, the movie looked awful. It was worse
that anything I'd ever seen on DVD and not nearly as good
as my worse VHS movie.
So I started to read up on the subject and learned that
compression had a lot to do with the quality of the image
transferred onto my hard drive. Without getting into all
the technical jargon, most of which I can barely understand,
I learned that the bigger the image captured into the
computer, the better it would reproduce once compressed
in a format compatible with DVD.
Anyway, I decided to try one more time to capture a movie
from VHS onto my machine using the least compression and
the largest picture ratio allowable.
Well, some of you may already know that the first, biggest
and seemingly unsurmountable problem I faced was the
issue of size. Believe me, size matters.
My secondary hard drive, the one into which I copied the
the movie was filled in the first 15 minutes of capture.
That's a 20gig Western Digital HD. If my arithmetic is
correct (almost never), it means that a 111 min. movie
in AVI format would require aproximately 150 gigs of
hard drive space! Someone, please, correct me if I'm mistaken.
For a while I debated going out and buying a new HD
for this task. But I'm not as wealthy as most of you and
would find it hard to justify the expense of buying a new HD
just to satisfy this little "caprice".
So I had to devise a different strategy.
What I did was this: I capture the 15mins. into my
HD, compress it into mpeg2 using Ulead software
(saving the new file into my primary HD), go back and
delete the AVI original and capture another 15mins.
of film, allowing for some overlap for splicing together
later and so on.
When splicing together the compressed 15 min segments, I
discovered that Ulead automatically inserts a default transition
between files. For some reason these transitions are selected
randomly so that, for example, you may have one that looks
like dissolve between segments 1 and 2 and another that looks
like tumbling box between segments 2 and 3. You can remove
them if you like but if the splice is not done down to the thousanth
of a second you'll see hear sound difference and the picture sort of
skip. In other words, the splice will not be a smooth one.
That's as far as i've gotten in this project. I'm yet to burn the
finished project onto DVD and would be most interested to
read what some of you may have to say about your own
results with similar experiences. I'm confident that most of
you here are not as dumb and inexperienced as me.

I have a WinTV PVR 250 and I get execellent quality DVDs, as good or
better than the original VHS. Does the VHS produce good quality playback
on the WinTV screen on your computer?

If you transfer from VHS direct to DVD, how and where do you edit?

I don't see how this procedure is faster. If I understand, you first |
copy a DVD to a DVD ReWritable in the standalone DVD burner. Then you
put that DVD in a DVD reader attached to a computer and edit, author,
etc. Then you put that DVD back in the standalone DVD burner and make
the final copy. Why is that faster/better than putting the DVD in a
computer DVD reader, use DVD Shrink, and/or what ever edit/author
program you like and then use CDBurnerXP Pro, or what ever burner
program you like to burn the final copy?
Still a beginner trying to learn more.
