[Ham-Computers] VHS to DVD

[Dan Violette]

Duane misunderstood the question I believe.  You are writing at single
speed, so does not make sense to me either.  I know some PC machines used to
check the info on the CD and set the speed maximum.  Duane is talking about
the poor quality as you try to compress more onto the DVD.  2-hour SP mode
is the most compression I would go for best video.

Use 4X and be happy. The faster speeds yield poor resolution. Remember, you
are not copying VHS, you are converting it to a new format! A direct DVD to
DVD copy may run at a faster speed because it does not need much, if any,
conversion.
