OK, these VHS lecture tapes are twenty years old and need to be transferred pronto of course. I have six combo machines making DVDs at once (I used these before for recording individual dance performances). My thinking is that DVD generally improves VHS quality because of reduced random noise and improved stability; that’s the easy part. The ingest of DVD VideoTS intermediate folders are slow into Adobe Premiere. There I check and trim them, The output to DV.avi via Media Encoder is fine but the files are large for corporate server, yet easy to play and preserve resolution of the training materials.
The main snag is the ingest to Adobe Premiere; from there I could go to any suitable format.
