Hi
Can video production services convert VHS tape to digital files I can use in Movie Maker? If yes, in what file format -- which is best? I'm completely new to this! Thanks.
 
Hi there,

The best quality is DV-AVI. I have used WMV HD in movie maker (This is a
many times higher resolution/quality than DV-AVI) but the best Output from
Movie Maker is DV-AVI....When you speak to the company you intend to
use...make sure you specify DV-AVI and not just AVI. This because DV-AVI is
a set standard whereas AVI is not and you could end paying for an AVI file
that is totally unsuitable to your requirements.

If you need this kind of thing on a regular basis, or if you have a whole
load of VHS to convert. It might be cheaper to buy the best quality
Analogue capture card you can afford.
