Hey guys,
I know this topic has been discussed before in various forms, but I wanted to find out, with no previous preference in codec, what I should use as the most versatile, best archival codec for capturing video in final cut. The sources I am using are VHS and 3/4" Umatic, and the material will eventually be converted for DVDs, etc.
it seems that the codecs that come up the most for this purpose are mjpeg and mpeg2, but I wanted to know what the absolute best is. I would like to conserve file size, but if need be I can deal with large files.
is prores 422 an option?
let me know what you think, thanks
