Before selecting a Video compression format for recording your video with Instant DVD, think about your final goal for the captured video? If you wish to capture, edit and record back to videotape you will choose a different format than if you want to put an hour of video on a CD-ROM.

Choosing a video format that matches your output goal will save you time and assure the best video quality.

Read the description of each video capture format to be sure that it not only matches your output goal, but also matches your playback goal. Some formats will only playback on a Windows PC and others will play back in home DVD players.

My Goal is:

Video format choice:

-Copy an hour of video on to a CD-R/RW disk

VCD (Video CD format/MPEG-1)

-Capture video for video e-mail or publish on Internet

VCD (MPEG-1)

-Copy 30-40 minutes of Better quality video to CD SVCD(Super Video CD)

-Copy DVD on CD (20 minutes) play back on PC

(MPEG-2)

-Capture, edit and record back to videotape

DVD (MPEG-2)

-Capture and copy DVD quality movie to DVD diskDVD (MPEG-2)
