I am using a dvcam with a firewire cable to my mac pro. I have watched the digital conversion and the original vhs. seams to be the same.
I have only been working as an editor for roughly a year so I see old footage/low res footage. and its foreign to me in a way due to working HD footage all the time.
If there isn’t much more improvement with the converters I might just save the companies coin and do it through the camera.
