I purchased a D8 camera to do the capturing. It is able to read video  
8 tapes and send it via firewire.
I've been archiving the tapes on disk as DV files.

I'll edit the files together one day and burn them onto DVD.

On its way to you.  If the maintainers would like a copy, or would like to add 
it to the web pages, I would have no problem with that.  They and others on 
this list helped me a lot while I was working it out :-)

Hi,

Ok, so here is what I would do:

1. capture at 720x576 (or if NTSC 720x480), interlaced.

1a. (optional) denoise if needed...

2. scale to 352x576 (or if NTSC 352x480), interlaced.

3. encode to DVD at highest possible bitrate.

cu
Stefan

I have many Hi8 video tapes, and I work with a DC10+ capture card.  If it is 
any help to you I will send you a copy of an OpenOffice presentation I did 
for my local LUG, in which I detail the steps to turn the input into DVDs.

I chose DVDs because VCDs are not always supported by stand-alone players, and 
with disks now cheap the wasted space didn't seem relevant.

As for the man pages - I found that it was essential to have all of them 
printed out.  There are so many possible parameters, and they don't always 
have the same/expected result in different tools.

[Mjpeg-users] Reasonable targets for Video8 sources...

2006-09-07 Thread Andrea Giuliano
Hi,

I hope this is not a trivial question, but since I have a lot of Video8 
tapes to save before they cannot be played anymore, I would like to save 
them digitally the best way.

I made some experiments with VCD and XviD, using a DC30+ card, but there 
are so many parameters to tune, so I would like to have at least a rough 
idea of what output format to choose (or even to avoid).

I just guess that DVD is to avoid, since there is nothing to gain.

Also, I guess VCD should not be bad at all, and it fits well with my 
tapes (all are one hour long).

Finally, I would avoid XviD because some people that asked me for a copy 
of a tape don't have a DivX player (nor Video8 camcorder).

Any hint will be very appreciated.

Best regards.

PS
Yes, I have read several time the MJPEG-HOWTO and the man pages.
