Converting Video Tape Digital quality control
Matching the definition used for conversion is very important!
Only DpsDave gives you a choice.
Definition is the measure of the quality of the digital movie
Using low definition conversion on a high resolution tape will degrade the movie quality.
Using high definition conversion on a low resolution tape doesn't hurt a thing.
