I've got a DVD recorder for archive backup of VHS lectures. I need the
best picture quality. If its a two hour lecture I'll split it into two,
even three disks to archive this goal.

My usual work with Digital is through Adobe Premiere Transcoding > NTSC
DV High quality 4MB VBR 2 Pass with comment 'max bit rate = 7'.

This Toshiba D-R2 DVD recorder is featured without the one hour two
hour four hour factors. What's available is the 'Recording duration'.
This chart has three rows. Row 1 -M1 (192kbps) Row 2- M2 (384kbps) Row
3 -LPCM. At the top of Row 1 beginning column (Picture Quality) I have
quality rate 2.2 M-1 Four hour One Minute and M-2 Four hour Two minute.
Moving to the bottom quality rate 9.2 M-1 = One hour One minute and M-2
1 Hour.

If I want the best picture quality for a two hour VHS Lecture I would
chose picture quality rate 9.2 M-2 for One hour? Finalize the DVD, and
begin the second hour on the VHS with this 9.2 M-2 One hour method?

I'm working to archive the 'best picture quality' as one would do
within Adobe Premiere Pro (Editing, Transcoding) with this Toshiba
D-R2. I appreciate any insight into the particularities.

Thanks

Try anothe website, AVS Forum, for information on DVD Recorders.
Panasonic DVD recorders have the option of recording sound in the LPCM
format (CD quality) at the XP 1 hour setting. Panasonics can improve
the look of some VHS tapes when converting them to DVDR. I have seen
that myself with my DVD recorder, with the video going in the composite
(not s-video) input of the recorder.
