I want to be able to burn the VHS to DVD's and also be able to copy small clips from the digitized VHS to be able to share and include in slideshows. I want to know from the beginning the right path and formats, so I only have to do the digitization process once. Its a bit confusing, because there are several formats for doing this. I understand first, I should capture the VHS to a digital file on my computer.
Questions: what format and settings should I choose?
Can I have a list and explanation of all the options for this?
Is there any ways to increase the quality of the VHS?
When the digitized VHS file is stored on my computer, what format should be used when burning it to DVD?
If the file/format/size stored on the computer is larger than DVD size (4.7GB) can it still fit on one DVD? Will it require several DVD's? If its burned on one DVD, will it decrease in resolution?
When capturing the VHS to my computer is there a way to automatically stop the capture once the VHS tape is finished? or is this a manual process, that you must physically press stop recording (timing it with the end of the VHS).
Does the VHS capture have to be done in real time, Is there a way to speed up the process and capture the VHS, quicker than real time?
Why do captured VHS digitized files only play in a small window on the computer, but full screen on a TV? Is there a way for it to play full screen on a computer as well?
Since VHS is lower quality than DVD - Is it possible to fit more than 120 minutes of Video on a DVD, without decreasing the quality/resolution?
Is there different formats/setting for DVD's as far as recording/burning video files?
What is XP = 60 minutes, SP=120 minutes, LP=160 minutes, EP=240 minutes, SLP=360 minutes?
DVD-R DVD+R - is there any difference, as far as quality or capacity?
I always here about double layer DVD's or other forms of doubling or increasing the file capacity of DVD's - please explain. So is there any way to increase the capacity for standard DVDR's?
Can I work on my computer while burning CD's/DVD's?
Can I work on my computer while capturing VHS to computer?
Is there any tutorials or manuals for the sildeshow application in Creator 2010 suite?
In the Learning Center - is there a way to view all the video tutorials? Only three are displayed on the Learning Center tab.
I also have a library of video from my HD (Hi-Def) camcorder.
When bringing in the HD video to my computer (is this process called capture, because its already digital) what formats/files types should I use?
How do I bring it into my computer? I know I connect my HD Camera via USB or Firewire to my computer, what process and program to I use in Creator 2010?
HD video can be burned to standard DVD's - is there any different setting or formats for this? HD video on standard DVD's is capable of 30 minutes - please confirm? Can HD video be burned to standard CDR's?
I have a VHS Library, which I want to digitize.
