Hi!
I bought Grabby which included Magix Movies on DVD (TerraTex Edition). I have a PAL VCR, using S-video.
What are the recommended settings for getting best possible quality files for PC viewing? I am not going to export to DVD, and DVD transfer seems to be what most guides are for.
Please comment on whatever makes no sense:
I am not doing advanced editing (just basic cutting), so I understand that straight to MPEG-2 is then preferable(?)
So after Recording - Analog Video I pick these settings (skipping what I leave as standard):
Video Driver: Terratec Grabby
Audio Driver: Terretec Grabby
Input: S-Video
Recording Quality: MPEG: User defined - and then:
MPEG type: MPEG-2
Video format: PAL
Interlace mode: Progressive
Video bit rate: 4000 ?
Video encode quality: 15 ?
Resolution: I don't understand this one. According to this guide http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/video/introduction-record-capture.htm: it says VHS resolution is 352x480 which is not even an option in Magix. The corresponding bitrate is mentioned as 4000 max. What is the best resolution?
Bit rate type: Variable bitrate
Noise sensitivity: 7
Audio: 48000, stereo, 224 kbps
Thank you!
