I am using an older digital 8 camcorder to shot my home movies with.
I am using 1394 to import them into my computer where I do some editing, and then burn them onto DVD.
Here is my question: I have some small fears about the longevity of DVD media. To protect my fragile hide from the wrath of my wife
, I want to make a backup copy of everything using a S-vhs vcr. Will it make any quality differece if I make the back up straight from the camcorder, or from the burned DVD??
I would think that the d/a converter in the DVD player would be better than my lowend camcorder. But on the other hand the video is totally uncompressed coming out of the camcorder.
Any input(aside from how I'm making a mountain out of a molehill)??
