Re: Mini DV transfers to DVDR:..what speed to preserve quality?

MiniDV is 25 Mb/sec motion JPEG encoded. This is a fairly high quality compression. To MPEG-2 transcode you will want to use the highest bit rate (quality mode) available to you. 2-hr bit rate will give you roughly the quality of a commercially mastered DVD, which I find to be pretty bad.
