Capturing Video8, quality = 3?
Apr 16, 2012 3:20 AM
I got som Video8 tapes that i want to transfere to my Mac.
Bought a Grass Valley ADVC 110 http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 and a Canon G20 H8/Hi8 camcorder PAL.
Connected the camcorder via composite (Yellow video - Black to Audio L phono), the camera don't have stereo out and the tapes is from a Bauer VCC 830 camcorder bougt i 91' and don't think it records in stereo anyway, but the camara i long gone.
On some danish sites it recomende to use S-video out rather than composite, there for i orderet a S-Video cable and will get the audio like with composite.
My question goes on capturing the video in Premiere Pro CS5.
When i capture i get af bitrate of 3.6MB/sec but under the Video data block the settings are Normal = 3 in quality.
Is it possible to change this, for higher quality capture? (Im aware that it can't get any better the quality of the film)
I was recomende to use DVCPRO50 when editing the capture film, because it has higer bitrate and more functions (colour boost) and since it dosent matter if i capture in a standard 48KHZ pal project or DVCPRO50, i think that the bit rate of 3.6Mb/sec i what the camara/film quality is.
I want to capture my Video8 tape in best quality, for later use i Premiere Pro and export DVD copy's to famerly members.
