Re: Capture format and output format for analog to digital

VCD's resolution is not considered appropriate in these days - it is 
"obsolete" format.
SVCD (stands for SuperVCD looks much more better, DVD is practically the 
best format for you now.
However, it still does not reach the picture quality of miniDV 
(Digital8) format - frames are more compressed.
