Our process used to Convert VHS to DVD.

1) Capture the Video source with the proper equipment - make sure you have a decent capture card otherwise the reults will allways be poor.

2) Capture the video to MPEG-2, if you try AVI first you will spend ages transcoding and the video will also be second generation.

3) Compress the audio to dolby (ac3). This will allow you to keep the maximum bitrate possible dedicated to the video.

4) Author using a popular auhoring program

5) Burn

6) Ask Freshcut DVD to do this as you may have used an incompatible disc, have made mistakes during the authoring process, selected incorrect bitrates for video, or any other similar mistake.

As the process typically takes about the length of the video plus 4 hours of machine and operator time its really esier and better to use Freshcut DVD.

We can convert your VHS videos and deliver you a DVD. If you require we can also make up menus so that you can access the video easily using your remote control.

• Freshcut can digitise and encode VHS video and deliver you video files on a DVD that will play in your computer or on a DVD player attached to your TV.
• Menu Systems that let you divide your video into chapeters or areas on interest and access them directly though a menu system.
• Play on your PC or in a domestic DVD Player*
• *No recordable DVD is compatible with every machine. Unles specifically requested we deliver on DVD-R which play in 85% of domestic players.

A Quick Note on Convert VHS to DVD

Legalities aside, note that Hollywood VHS tapes that can't be copied from VHS deck to VHS deck can be captured by your computer and converted to DVD. That's because the copy protection scheme used by Hollywood subtly affects VHS deck writing heads in a way that doesn't impact video capture on the computer.

As with all video captures, however, you'll get substantially better results if you capture via S-Video, an output most consumer VHS decks don't support. It will work with composite inputs, but you may be disappointed with the quality.

For an informed and authorative conversion process, make sure you use the experts.
