Thanks Walter I’m hiring a 1400 deck tomorrow so I’ll try your advised setting out once I have digitized, But are you sure I need to work at 720p25 and not 1080? I’m not sure what picture size the tapes were recorded at. Hopefully this project will go out to broadcaster in the UK and I want to give them the best quality output. Thanks for getting back to me, I read your bio and and visited your web site it looks like your doing some really cool stuff. Cheer’s for the advice mate. Garry
