vhs to dvd

[thastarter]

well now, let me see... i want to capture a original vhs movie to my pc, then convert it to dvd vith the best quality i can get. i have Terratec 400 tv card with analog input based on the philips saa 7134 chip, and i use the flyTv2000 software for capturing (i read that is the best for that chip).p42000,512mb ram, lots of hdd, my questions are:
-which resolution i should capture, should i use the "on the fly" flytv2000 deinterlacer or should i make some kind of filterchain in AViSynth afterwards to process the video? (i have the huffyuv & the Picvideo mjpeg codecs)
-anyway, i intend to use some filtering to remove the vhs noise at the bottom(or should i crop on capure), so what filters i should use for that to get the best of the vhs tape? (cropping, luma, shrpening...etc) i prefer AVS Edit to write the scripts,
-and finally what is the best solution to encode, vob's or mpg2 files to burn them on dvd? (i have the TMPGEnc)

...oh yeah, does someone know a good mirc channel where i can disscuss the video capturing process?

So you've switched from your original BT card that you had in February.


...which resolution i should capture...

See sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Capture Guide (http://www.doom9.org/capture/start.html).

...should i use the "on the fly" flytv2000 deinterlacer or should i make some kind of filterchain in AViSynth afterwards to process the video?

The latter is recommended. See section 7.2.

...so what filters i should use for that to get the best of the vhs tape?

See section 7.2

...and finally what is the best solution to encode, vob's or mpg2 files to burn them on dvd?

See section 8.
