Hi, folks. I have already posted this message in the Director's Cut forum, but there are so many experienced and knowledgeable people who read this forum, I hope the admins will allow me to post it here too. I am really in need of help. I need to take a VHS tape and convert it to a web-readable format (WMV, RealVideo, etc.). My client is concerned with both size and video quality, but mostly video quality, since they're a video production house and what they want to showcase is the quality of their work. Thus far they are displeased with my efforts, saying the video is too grainy. (Before, when it was cleaner, they claimed it took too long to download). So, basically I want to know is, based on all of your experiences, what is the best video format, video image size, and clip length to use for web-clips that will load fairly quickly (within a couple seconds), and be as close to broadcast quality as possible? Unfortunately, I'm stuck using a VHS master and RCA cables to go from tape to the computer. I have two different capture systems to choose from, a Dazzle Viceo Creator and a Pinnacle Linx cable (I'd prefer to use the latter, it's easier). Also, if anyone knows any coding tips to optimize for faster downloading (such as the EMBED commands, which I'm already using), I'd appreciate knowing about it. Many thanks in advance for any assistance or advice you can offer.
