No, but I am realistic. I have had this argument many times with friends
who insist that you get better quality using svideo or running the vhs via a
camcorder then via firewire into a DVD standalone recorder, all very true.
My opinion (only mine), is that *subjectively* there is not a lot of
difference.
The bottom line is the VHS is recorded interlaced and what you get out is
equivalent to the VCD standard of 352 x 288, a bit better if using SVHS.
You are then recording this at 720 x 576 so there is obviously a reduction
in quality over a native DVD recording.
Having said that there is a definite benefit converting VHS tape to DVD
format. I have done this directly using an ATI capture card and also using
a standalone DVD recorder. Again objective, but I get slightly better
results with the recorder. Also get round the macro problem ;).
