DVD
OK, I have been experimenting some more and I think I've got it!
I transferred a couple 30 minute VHS tapes to DVD this weekend using this process and they look great!
Step one: dub the VHS to an 8mm DV Camcorder. This gives you a digital dub that's pretty much as good as the source.
Step two: transfer the video from the DV camcorder to the computer using firewire (or USB?) and Roxio's DVD Builder capture software.
Step Three: Use roxio to encode the video to the DVD format and save it as an ISO image on the hard drive.
This takes a lot of time, 30 min videos took more than an hour to encode on an AMD Athlon XP1100 machine.
Step four: Use Nero 6.0 to burn the image to a DVD.
Note: I only used Nero to do this because Roxio for some reason doesn't recognize my DVD burner. If it did I could probably just go right to burning it and skip the ISO file, though it's nice to have if you want to make more than one copy.
