  Phew! Then you have got quite a task ahead of you to get some reasonable picture quality when starting from that point, and I would say that Neat Video plugin would be essential. I do not have it but those de-noising programs often have a sharpening

  @lauriemessage @emmrecs @johnebaker I just found what appears to be the original source of the 8mm files. They are on a VHS cassette. We must have copied them onto a computer in 2006 and that's how the MVD movie was created. Phew! Then you have got

  RE: How can I convert movie made in 2006 with BUP, VOB, IFO and MVD files?
  @lauriemessage My guess is that the company that scanned the 8mm film supplied the digital files in the form of a DVD Video disc, rather that a data disc with the individual MPEG files in a folder, therefore I think your .VOB's are the ones that

  RE: Program crashing
  @Trevor-Smith I think Jeff's solution of using Handbrake is your best bet to reduce the file size for now. While the AVI uncompressed video codec is lossless it does produce huge files unless you know how to set up the parameters carefully for a

  A couple of annoyances with MEP2021

  RE: Frame size for export.
  My 4k LG 55" TV does a great job at upscaling. To my untrained eye 😉, 720x576 ex-VHS looks as good as the video played on my computer screen, which is only 2ft from my face.

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  All, No, you can not improve picture quality purely by increasing the amount of data as you have already found, but, if you render your edited DV-AVI to a lossless codec like Lagarith or Huffyuv for archiving, the quality will not get worse. It will

  @Jim_H If you rendered them into an AVI format (as opposed to DV-AVI) they will be bigger. DV-AVI is 13gb/hour, whereas for example Lagarith (a lossless AVI format), is 30gb per hour. It will be better quality than a comparable DV-AVI export. In

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  @Jim_H Hi Jim I think the confusion here is that you have captured to DV-AVI which is what the ADVC-300 converts to by default to send via Firewire to Magix and your My record folder. DV-AVI is a medium compressed format and is the same as your

  @Jim_H Hi, First, do not export to AVI; this will just give you huge files and no benefit. If you need an intermediate, use Magix format, mxv. It will give you smooth editing in MEP. Secondly, I am presently digitizing some VHS cassettes - directly
