Thank you for asking…we use FCP 2.0 and Vegas 8 – both via a Black Magic Decklink Extreme HD cards analog composite input…ideally we’d encode to a cross platform file type. In the long run, we expect FCP to supplant Vegas – but perhaps not for a while.

As far as future requirements, we simply want to extract the most “quality” possible from the rather limited original source – without unnecessary lossy effects so we can get rid of these old analog decks finally.

In addition to VHS, SVHS, Hi8, we are capturing some old 3/4 video as well.

Again, thanks for any insight you might have…do you think this question is in the right forum?

Cheers,

Paul
