Greetings -

I have just purchased a Pioneer DVR 320-s. So far, I like it quite a bit.

I will be transfering my Hi8 library to DVD.

Here's the burning question . . . based on hi8 quality, will I even notice a difference between "FINE" speed (1 hour per disc) and "SP" speed? (2 hours)

SP would be most practical because the tapes are two hours each, and I want to do the transfer right, but am I "wasting"
"FINE" speed on a master (Hi8) that will look the same on SP?

I really can't test it myself so well, because my best TV is 12 years old, and I'm waiting until next year to get a HD TV.

Thanks again, I'm anxious to hear what the board thinks.

I've recently started transfering my Hi8 tapes to DVD+R, but I'm using my PC,not a stand alone unit like you. I've burned 12 hours of footage so far.

I'm using Pinnacle Studio 9 to capture/edit/burn.

I have the option to use whatever compression rate I want, but I like the PQ quality that I get when I capture just 60 min+/- of Hi8 tape(I use the analog pass thru on my mini DV camcorder)for transfer to one single layer DVD+R.

With the MPEG compression, there will already be enough loss of quality, so I don't want to make it worse.

You could make 2 test burns and take them to a store so that you can view them on a HD capable TV.

Thanks for the reply, Dane.

Any pros out there with comments? Someone out there must have pro-level experience . . . .?

Bueller?
