hello all,
I have on old childhood VHS tape that is in PAL standard. I live in US now though, and thinking of converting the VHS tape to digital though a video shop.
I am trying to figure out to what I should convert the tape to. To which format and medium? I suppose to keep the best quality I should keep it in PAL, but to which format? Converting to a DVD is not as high quality I hear... I really want to preserve the quality as best as I can.
Also, I don't have a bluray drive, so converting the tape to bluray disk can't work atm. I have a mini dv camcorder that I've bought here in US, and I'm wondering if i could convert the PAL VHS tape to a mini dv tape, and then transfer the video to my computer through my camcorder. Will my camera be able to play it even if the video is PAL? My camera is Panasonic PV-GS19.
