Interlacing/deinterlacing is probably going to be the issue once it's captured, though I do have a feeling that the PVR-250 card can capture progressive. I'll have to check.

Granted I've only tried it with my PVR-150, and that was limited to interlaced capturing.

Most recently I used a Panasonic HDD/DVD recorder. Scart from the video player and record either to a RAM DVD to edit on my computer (the recording format is basically MPEG2) or to the recorder's HDD from where it can be edited and written to a recordable DVD with the onboard Panasonic editor/burner.

I've done the same with capture cards in the past, an ATI AIW x800 and a Hollywood+ thing, but the results weren't as good. Then again, these weren't especially good cards.

Edit: it occurs to me that if you videos are commercial, then my recorder method would probably fail as Panasonic (at least) pays close attention to nonsense like macrovision.

Not commercial, old camcorder videos.

 

My last attempt ages ago with a holiday video was with a software TV card and the results were an interlaced mess. Hopefully this attempt will be better, especially since they're not my videos!

I may (not) give a damn Anthony.
