Thank you to everyone that has helped me so far. I have a questions, Virtualdub will compress to MPEG-4 using a codec like XVID.
Does virtual dub have the ability to compress straight to MPEG-2..Ive read that it does not, but have seen links to files claiming it can.
If not, I assume I can compress my large file using XVID, then would need an external program to convert the file to MPEG-2 to burn into DVDs, correct?
My main problem is, I like the .avi format as it seems to be a good choice for high quality compressions, and is accepted across a wide variety of platforms. When I capture a file using virtual dub from my VHS player, the resulting file is way to large to fit on my hard drive. Therefore I assume, compression with XVID is important for storage.
Whats unclear is what is the next step, an external program to change the format into one that I can then burn on DVD discs? I had HandBrake recommended to me.
Many thanks for all the help. |

For (sub) SD material like from VHS tapes you could use a DV format, which is widely supported in most, if not all editors and DVD authoring tools.. As it happens Matrox offers a number of Video for Windows codecs around various DV formats that you should be able to find through their support site at http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/
