Hi,
Tried to search the forum but got no results. Apologies if this is an old subject, but for many it might be of current interest...
I need to convert a (high!) pile of DV(25) material to best quality mpeg2 (DVD compatible file at highest legal bitrate with embedded audio). The source DV is PAL 50i and the mpeg should also be 50i.
The use of Vegas for such a task is not very productive. These are just a simple transfers from one format to another, with no editing involved. There must be a good application for doing this. I want to avoid capturing AVI and then rendering out as mpgeg, since that would be very very slow.
My question to you experienced users:
which application(s) do you recommend for this job ???
There seems to be quite many such applications - that can capture from a DV source via FireWire - and in realtime encode to mpeg2. I am not just looking for some freeware, I'm prepared to pay for such a professional working tool.
Using your expertise I might save lots of unnecessary dowloading and testing of trial software. What have you guys used?
The application should be able to run on Vista 64 bit.
Grateful for any input or comments.
