Title: dvd help
Post by: pepper on October 14, 2006, 11:15:09 AM

I recorded a band in 2001 on a cheap video camera,and transferred it to a vhs tape.I have since had it transferred to dvd by someone who was also at the show( i know longer have any contact details for them)Id like to share it but not sure of the transfer process,as il need to give as much info as possible if i seed it.Also is it possible to rip audio from a dvd and make it lossless.I dont have any great knowledge,i just know i have stuff id like to share.It is good quality as its from a 1st gen vhs.

there are programs that can tell you most info about the disc, such as gspot
that info (bitrate and such) is usually more important then exactly how it was transferred
if you just tell them it was ___ Camcorder > VHS 1 > DVD along with bitrate, frames/sec, audio format you should be ok

there are programs to rip audio too, however lots of dvds use ac3 audio which is compressed already
so unless the audio is pcm you will not have lossless audio
