I have a VHS cassette digitized with the laptop usb stick device and now I do not know. I do not know at all I have to choose: WMP, AVI, MPEG2, MPEG4, etc. I do not want to burn it but Produce and throw on my hard drive. What is best?
What do you mean to produce?
I would take MPEG4, this is the newest format under the specified. The others are relatively outdated and should not be used today.
In addition, if you have the possibility to set the data rate relatively high.
That depends a little on how you want to continue working.
If in doubt, take MPEG4 or AVI.
So I mean, when I choose, it's created, and then I have my recording
I just want to have it because the recording means a lot to me and I want it to be the best possible
Then MPEG4. As a resolution you do not need more than VHS, so 240 vertical.
It depends.
If you want to archive something, then first of all a lossless format as "master" would be interesting for further processing. But it costs a lot of space.
Otherwise, the target format depends on the playback options.
I would encode it now with h.265.
Speaking of "format": You throw in the question already "container" with "codec" confused. Not a good prerequisite for video encoding.
You should first read https://encodingwissen.de/.
I would not have expected that hard boah
Thank you so much
Ordinary video and audio coding is not a trivial topic.
But the basics are not that difficult either.
