sorry, you're right... "1 pass of Multi VBR" takes just as long as "1 pass VBR".

so if the encodeing time is the same for these two modes then what is the advantage of "1 pass VBR"?? are the file sizes that it creates really that much smaller when the quality is the same??

Well I actually prefer the Quality Compared to File size with the "One Pass VBR" but it is hard to Predict the File size were with the "First Pass of Multi-Pass" you can predict the File size and the Quality is Good as Long as you don"t set the average bitrate too low.. So they both have there advantages and Disadvantages.....

I like my way more, (sorry)

1) bought a S-VHS recorder with TBC (has s-video out)
2) bought the ADVC100
3) capture with WinDV
4) encode with CCE basic
5) encode audio to AC3 with Besweet+GUI
6) author with DVDLab
7) print on Vertabim printable's with Epson Stylus
Photo 900 printer

Recently i also have a satellite receiver, (quit my UPC cable contract)
and have DVD quality recordings from live tv, (on a 70 cm CRT) and that's enough for now, later i buy something like a Dreambox, or the Kaon KVR1000 which can also record analog video (full PVR), but these are still future plans...

Well i guess that's my point, you start with "it" in a
very early stage with this, which saves you work, and
time, i guess what isnt there, you don't have to filter
or remove, okay, you are right when you say: that's only in a ideal situation, but most of the time, filters, will also remove some quality, the resolution of a pc monitor is a lot better than a regulair tv, (CRT) and i noticed, recording tv broadcast on my JVC (it has build in noise reduction)
smooths out some noise, and this is nice, but it also
reduces a little bit the resolution, but i guess that's the "deal" you take by this..
I'm now very happy with my sat. receiver, the quality is better than most of my pre-recorded VHS tapes, so when there's a movie, that i've got only on VHS i record it "live" and burn it on dvd.
Also, when i transfer a vhs to dvd, it appears to look better on dvd, because of the JVC's noise reduction, what does not please me is, i can't switch off the noise reduction, well who said it would be easy ?
Also, it's wise, to keep up to date with devolpments,
you can't compare quality from a vcr, that's made 10
years ago, mechanical, software, en electronics keep
getting better.

fugitive2, i'm sorry but i don't really understand your post. are you saying that your "trick" for retaining A/V quality is to buy a satellite receiver??

how much did it cost?? can you hook up a VCR to it?? have you tested the quality against other units such as a simple $50 video stableizer?? you have not told us the make or model number...

Not exactly, but what i meant is, before doing any
filtering, try to avoid getting noise in your video
signal,
using a S-VHS vcr for it's s-video connection,
and the use of build in noise reduction of the vcr.
it safes long filtering time.
keep connection leads as short as possible, you don't
have to buy any "Monster" cables that way.
If possible, switch off the rf-modulator of the vcr,
in some cases this modulator causes interference,
(you're using most of the time the scart connection)
filtering removes sometimes the finer color tones,
loosing depth this way.
