Hi Guys,
OK, I have a confession to make, and a question to ask.
As will be evident from earlier posts, I have an assortment of older analogue 8mm tapes that I want to put onto dvds for ease of viewing. I got one tape converted by a proper professional bureau here in Perth for $60, - just so I'd have something to compare my own transfers to.
And I must say that the Bureau produced dvd has a much better quality of video than the two or three that I've produced using the EzyGrabber mentioned in the thread. During the 'grabbing' process, you can of course view the tape contents, which look fine. But by the time you've put the file to dvd, something has been lost in the process and the video quality is noticably poorer than the one from the Bureau.
The s/w that comes with the grabber prices mpeg files, as are the ones on the bureau dvd.
Anyone have any ideas about what else I could dabble with to improve quality. I don't fancy paying 60 buckeroonies a pop for the remaining 11 tapes.
Cheers
