hello i am computer literate but i have some ?'s.....i am capturing some old vhs tapes.....i have a brand new pc...pent 4 512 mb of ram 2.83 ghz.....an entire partitioned drive just for capturing 88.7 gb now i have the radeon ati card....8500 now my question is since i am capturing a vhs tape. DO i capture it at vhs quality which is 352x240 29.57 fps 741 kbps. i can increase the 741 kbps...but what will that do???? also if i capture it at dvd quality 720x480 3034 kbps......which do i do?...the tape is 3 hrs long approx....the vhs quality will fit on a dvd and the dvd wont right? ia m confused....will the quality get better through dvd or vhs? If i capture it at vhs quality and increase the kbps will it be more smoother...it seems that when i capture it in vhs quality it seems to skip a bit and look blocky how can i fix that problem? .....thanx sorry if this is so much...i need help?

i've experimented with this for many weeks. here's the method that i settled on for best quality. capture to dvd format at 4.5 megs if you are given that option...only up to an hour at a time..this will help keep the audio and video in sync. once you have the capture done, use TMPGE DVD author for dvd's or TMPGE plus convert to SVCD or VCD. what i do is create a dvd with DVD Author and then run it through DVD2SVCD and create a CVD not VCD...CVD is 352X480 and i can get 2, sometimes 3 movies on 1 dvd with SVCD quality....also, i have a very fast machine so it makes the process less time consuming. 3.06, 1024 ram, win xp pro, sp1, ati 9800 pro, etc. good luck, mike
