Thanks to all.

I think it was around $80.00 they charged me in 1982 to transfer my 11 8mm reels to VHS. If I remember right they aren't but about 10 minutes each. If you have been reading this post from the beginning, you can see I really don't know what I'm doing in Pinnacle. Most of the stuff that you and others have talked about went right over my ...

That is good to know. I could tell you almost exactly the same story. I had Mom and Dad's 8mm to VHS done back in 1982. Now I will copy to DVD, but I'd like to do what you had done with the uncompressed avi files. Mom and Dad or gone now, but I do have all of the old film. Going to start in the yellow pages. In Baton Rouge I should be ...

Lawrence all what you said makes perfect sense, progressive scan etc... Thank you...And yes, that is the Moviebox USB I was referring to... Joe, the film you talked about, was that the old Super 8?? Could you please explain this a little more..    btw, a few years after that job, I completely re-did the family video. Where the ...

A friend of mine just showed me his capture device that he has with a older version which is Pinnacle Studio 9. If anyone is familiar with this capture device you have to plug it in/ac to power it. It looks to be very well built compared to the cheap looking device I got with Studio 14. So my question is CAN you use this device that came with ...

Lawrence, I've downloaded the Movie Classic as you asked. Looking at what I've imported I can see quality difference compared to my original VHS tape viewing it on the monitor. As I had said earlier, I think the SVHS cable I was using in the beginning was some of the problem. Now that I've gone to a quality RCA composite cable it is ...

Ok, up to now by what everyone is telling me I'm pretty much doing what I should for the best video quality. Thanks you everyone. But after making several test disc I'm still seeing quite a bit of difference compared to my VHS. So I started thinking maybe I have a cable problem. The video cable. Again after doing  several more test, ...

Ok all, I want to thank everyone for their input and help on this. To answer some of yall questions, I am comparing my master VHS tape to the DVD disk that I burned by playing at looking at them on the TV. I use the highest settings to make the disk, which is 1 hour of video to the disk. I'm burning it at a low speed, I think 8X. Question: I ...

I have already burned to a DVD disk, and that outcome is what I am not happy with. These are just test disk, and I'm not happy with it comparing it to my master VHS tape. Is there something I can do in the import or editing that would enhance the quality?? Are in the setting to make movie?? I would think if there's anything it would be ...

I've updated my profile on my system. I'm not importing with the setting on mpeg-2. I have it set to DV. From what I have read so for I thought that would be the setting for getting the highest quality. Do I need to change that? For the video I'm using a high quality S-VHS cable, not a RCA/yellow cable. When I burn to disc/make movie, all is set ...
