Top Site!

After a frustrating week trying to get my head around ripping VHS to DVD I was about ready to give in as the results on DVD so far have been pants. I surfed across DigtialFAQ.com - formerly Lord Smurf Dot Com which has basically transformed how I do it in a night and now I'm just about getting it right on DVD.

To say its a black art is an understatement. Interlaced input, screen resolutions and codec fun. I've been converting DivX to DVD for a while now, but VHS to DVD should open up some nice new business avenues. Smurf Lord basically pointed out where I was going wrong - and how to fix it.

Basically my cards not been up to proper mpeg capture as it forces it to Deinterlace (causing flickering and jittery motion.) Capturing it as interlaced .avi and then converting to mpg seems to be working out lovely, the DVD footage is as smooth as the original VHS in its motion.

Now I can get all those my old videos on to DVD before the tapes disintegrate and offer people the same service for a few more shekels.
