Im just wondering, im new to capturing, I want to capture my babies movies to PC so I can burn on DVD from my Hi8 Cam directly but I can only capture at 320,240 and vcd quality 1400KB/sec? is this correct is or it just Pinnacle Studio 9 thats causing the issue? Im not sure of the bandwidth specifications of Svideo so it may be correct? -Dan
If you want to capture for DVD in the Best Quality you Must capture Mpeg2 at 720+480 for NTSC and 720+576 for Pal and the Video Bitrate should be beween about 5000kbs and 8000kbs... Pluss if you are Captureing directly to Mpeg2 for DVD then you should Dump Pinnacle Studio 9 and use something else as Studio 9"s Mpeg capture isn"t that good... I suggest useing something like "Intervideo WinDVR 3.0" and if you want to Put this Mpeg2 file on to DVD with Studio 9 then make sure that it does not Re-encode the Video because this will Just degrade the Quality and if it does try to re-encode the Video (Crappy Programs have a Habbit of Doing This) then use something else to Author the DVD Like "DVDLab"... 320+240 is not a Valid Resolution for any Video standard accept for Streaming Video which is allways pretty Low Quality.... Cheers
Aye this is the problem im saying tho. Pinnacle 9 will only capture over RCA from my Hi8 analog camera at 320x240.
Well the problem is with either your Capture device or with studio 9.. I suspect it is your Capture device that can not capture above 320+240.... What type of Capture device are you useing????
