About 5 years ago, when I was first into video editing, my captured files
were all .avi files (from s-video source). After editing in something like
Adobe Premier, I still had an avi file which I then wrote to S-VHS tape. All
pretty good quality - roughly 7:1 compression occured in the capture process .
Trying a newer system with MM, I see the captured files are WMF files. Is
the quality of these likely to be as good as the 7:1 compressed avi files I
was getting?
Also, now, I'll be writing my output files to DVD. Is there much further
quality loss as (I assume) the WMF files go through some other data
compression algorithms to produce whatever DVDs need to handle?
Basically, will my edited DVD be roughly
-"almost as good" as my S-VHS source,
- "not S-video quality but still better than a VHS original"
- "poorer than a VHS original"?
Thanks,
