Anyway, the results certainly seem somewhat better than when attempting to export an MPEG 2 from a DV capture. I'm not clear why it allows me to 'Capture' MPEG 2 10000 kbps, but doesn't allow me to 'export' the same after a DV capture.

The Pinnacle software DOES allow me to 'capture' MPEG 2 10000 and the results were surprisingly good! However, again this is an issue if I want to Edit, Author or what-have-you within Pinnacle due my having to 'Export' the video into MPEG 2 format once finished. Convert it to AC3 at DD 192 or 224 and you can go close to the max DVD video bitrate of 9800. And if the Pinnacle encoder allows only a max bitrate of 8000, like you I'd also recommend HCEnc.
If he's getting lousy results from the caps, as you're also speculating, he has to filter out at least some of the noise.
But I make DVDs from all my tape captures as well.

Free tools like AVS2DVD and AnyAVCHD won't clean up the usual VHS-DV capture problems (you'll need Avisynth for that) but they'll give you better encoding. I don't know how much bigger than 720x480 you want to go with so-so quality source material (VHS won't upscale well at all and always looks crappy), but the BluRay/AVCHD spec includes standard definition video at bitrates typically ~15,000 kbps using h264 and even MPEG-HD encoding. There are free encoders and authoring apps in the forum tools section that use the excellent HCenc MPEG encoder. A couple of suggestions, though.įirst, get better cleanup and encoding software. Without some cleanup of the usual visual shortcomings we'd likely see from the workflow you describe, there's really no magic format. MPEG/DVD is probably your most "universal" choice, although many players would choke on what you say is "480x480" MPEG (maybe that's a typo?). Sounds pretty much like the usual methods most people use for old tapes, with pretty much the same results. old tapes captured to an unfriendly DV format, no line tbc, Pinnacle software. Is there some other software that I should be using instead, or is 8000kbps the 'max' I can use? Well, let's see. I don't seem to have the option to go 'higher' than the 8000 kbps bitrate using the pinnacle program. The only one that seems to come close, but still noticeably inferior from the DV format is "Mpeg 2, 720x480 8000 kbps and Mpeg 2, 480x480 8000 kbps".
However, I just can't seem to find a conversion format using Pinnacle 17 that allows me to get a decent looking video for DVD/USB, etc. I have captured some VHS and VHS-C test video using my NEC 8600 VHS player and the results seem quite good (DV 720 x 480 through S-Video).
Do I need to export/convert differently for one or the other? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I would like 'prefer' that the format be compatible for newer USB slots on TV's and Media Players, but DVD's (Blu-ray, dual-layer, or regular DVD) would be nice too. As such, I'm completely stumped about what format and which resolution I should be exporting both the Hi8 and VHS-C tapes (DV tapes for that matter too!) once I've finished my simple edits!. The current DV format is un-playable by TV/USB or Media Player such as my Aios or WD which surprised me, but I assume that is my ignorance in not knowing 'exactly' what DV format was used (Pinnacle does not seem too helpful in this respect.). I'm capturing all the Hi8 and VHS-C in 'standard' DV format (720x480 through Pinnacle) so that I may edit the video and then 'Export' said video so it may be viewed by others on their Televisions. I have been capturing using the ADVC-100 and Pinnacle Studio 17 and was wondering what formats I should be putting my finished videos into. It's been a looong time since I've done any video editing and need some help with 'final' conversion formats for a bunch of tapes (VHS-C, Hi8 and DV) that I have been putting off for WAY too long.
