I have Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 with DVD Architect. I would like to know which method of capturing has the highest video quality between DV, HDV, and SDI. I have been using DV. Now that I have a newer HD TV, the videos don't look as sharp as they used to. They actually look pretty poor. I'm not sure if it's because I have a cheap dvd player or if I should be capturing in a different format. Store bought/rental movies look good on the tv though. I had Vegas 6 (I think) before I got the 8.0 and a smaller tv and had better quality than I do now. The camera that I use is older, but the video quality doesn't seem as good now. Just trying to figure out if I should capture the video to the program different or if the larger tv just shows the flaws better. I'm not an electronic expert by any means and I am well aware that Vegas has way more to offer than I will ever use. I mainly shoot my kids' sporting events and send them to the their grandparents and aunts and uncles. I have been able to put together a few good cd's for them though I question the quality that they get when they pop them in their sets.
A bit long winded, I know...PLEASE HELP ME
Answer
HD-SDI is the best format to capture in, but you need a lot of storage space since the video is captured in uncompressed HD. The problem is that you will have to purchase and install an SDI capture card and set it up in Vegas.
HDV is the easier and most common way to capture HDV. It uses a single Firewire or i.Link connection to transfer from HDV or miniDV tape to the computer. Your computer and Sony Vegas come ready to work with this set up right out of the box. http://motionpicturecentral.com/forum/post-production/editing/connect-hdv-minidv-and-digital8-camcorders-to-computers-capture-video
The lowest quality video capture is DV. This is actually SD video and it is usually stored on miniDV or HDV tape. The video capture process is exactly the same as HDV. http://motionpicturecentral.com/forum/post-production/editing/connect-hdv-minidv-and-digital8-camcorders-to-computers-capture-video
*** No there is a catch... Unless you plan to save HD videos to Blu-ray disc for use in a Blu-Ray player connected to an HD tv or for use as HD online video, it really does not matter whether you import via HD-SDI, HDV, or DV. All standard movie DVDs are SD quality only. Since you are using video CDs and regular DVDs, your final video is in SD. You can still record, capture, edit, and save your HD movies, but when you burn your regular DVDs, the movie is converted to
We film in HD on HDV, capture from HDV in HD, and even edit in HD, but most of our projects go out in regular DVD because most of our clients local clients still have standard DVD players like your older "grand" clients. Even if they have an HD TV chances are that they have a standard DVD player. We save the HD movies in case the clients want a Blu-Ray copy later when they get a Blu-ray disc player (or a Sony Playstation 3).
If you do not have a Blu-Ray burner or player, you can still watch HD video on your TV. You can get a long DVI cable to connect the DVI port on your video card to the DVI input on your HD TV. If you do not have DVI input on your HD TV, you will have HDMI input. You can get the appropriate cable or adapter to connect your DVI video port to the HDMI input on your TV. Once this is complete, you can play your HD movie on your computer using the HD TV as a very large monitor.
You can also save video to HD and post them online at Vimeo or other similar video sites that specialize in HD videos. You can also post small HD videos to a DATA DVD or CD and hand them to people for use in their computers. The person viewing the video will need to have a monitor set to a minimum resolution of 1280x720. Most current computer monitors and systems made since late 2007 are already capable. If the computer is new and has a widescreen monitor, then it is capable of playing HD video from the internet or a data DVD. Most current computers can play an HD video from a DATA DVD or CD but not from a standard movie DVD since like we mentioned earlier, the standard movie DVD is in standard definition.
