Hi there,
I have been interested for sometime in achieving my home video of my family on to some media more reliable than tape. The fear is that the tape may get mangled in the VCR and in making copies of the original tape, quality is lost. I recently came across the Pinnacle systems Studio MP10 which seemed to offer a solution by creating a CD using MPEG-1 format. Pinnacle sent me a demo CD which only demos the Video editing software, not an example for final output. Since then a friend has pointed me towards the Matrox Marvel G400-TV which sounds very good. I have downloaded the MPEG file posted by Elie and it plays well through my Videologic DVDPlayer (this is based the Hollywood+ chip set). Only when the camera is panning or an object is moving do I see distortion around the moving edges. Is this problem to do with my set up or the MPEG translation software? My DVD Player has no problem showing DVD movie disks. Has anyone else seen this problem with this example? I am new to the video capturing game so am not sure what to expect.
My main aim is to achieve my videos, so the supply of video editing software is a bonus, which I would use for simply tidying up my videos.
My main concern is maintaining video quality, at least the same as the input from Compact VHS tape.
Is this the device for me???
