Re: Capture format and output format for analog to digital

Larry,

I would prefer avi format - especially if you are going to edit footage.
MPEG format is not so easy to edit from point of view quality loss.
The final avi file can be coded to almost any other format you want 
(MPEG, etc.) - for example, to create VCD (forget it), SVCD, even DVD.
