hi all,
i am using a PVR-150 capture card to record from Vid8 and Hi8 tapes,
with the final medium being video DVDs. the pvr-150 has a hardware
mpeg encoder, so the capture file is an mpeg.
i'd like to use cinelerra to splice and edit these files. using
mpeg3toc, i can import and work with these files just fine. but, of
course, on render i'd like to lose as little quality as possible. as
the file is already in mpeg, i shouldn't have to do any re-encoding
for DVD (i think!).
i've tried the rendering for DVD settings in the wiki, but that
results in lower quality than the original. if i don't use a pipe
command, the quality is much better, but there still seems to be some
changes to the video - less vibrant colors being the most obvious
difference. the color difference remains whether the color seeting is
on YUV or RGB.
so what should my settings be to get the video output from cinelerra
to be as close to the original as possible? ideally, this would
involve no reencoding at all. anyone else with a pvr-150 had any
luck with with this? thanks!
Cinelerra can't do this at the moment.
