In Reply to: Mini DV transfers to DVDR:..what speed to preserve quality? posted by Waldteufel on March 28, 2005 at 13:09:46:
If you're going from MiniDV to DVDR aren't you transferring the video file digitally? If so, you just copy the file over or import it. On my PC I use Pinnacle Studio software and simply import the digital video file from my Canon MiniDV camcorder onto my PC hard disk with no concerns for making any 'speed' settings. I'm basically just copying the digital file over.

Thanks for the reply. With the first project I've imported 4 MiniDV tapes (4hrs-worth at SP), to the MAC, where I will edit them to a form for subsequent burning to DVDR. Before burning, I'll have to select a transfer quality mode. Since they were recorded in SP by the camera, would SP then be the way to go? I know digital, if it stays digital, should be either right or wrong. But I'm wondering why, or how the choice of recording mode will affect the visual outcome. I don't want to do anything that would compromise the quality already on the tape (now on the HD). I'd prefer SP because of the 2-hr capacity, but will use the highest setting if that's what I'll really need to get it all.I'd just experiment, but this is already turning out to be more work than I'd anticipated, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can to avoid as many mistakes as possible.
