Uncompressed Video File
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2005 5:03 am
I have some rare VHS tapes that have never been released to DVD. They are promotional music videos. I want to extract them to my PC in an **uncompressed** video format (for best possible quality). I know how to extract the footage, but what extensions represent **uncompressed** format? MPEG2, AVI, WMV?
Also, does anyone know how large one of these would be? The size will be worth it, due to the rarity. I plan to just use a lot of DVDs to store them onto. I am just curious of the sizes per minute (around 5 minutes I'd say). What about the size of a TV show episode (about 22 minutes)?
Also, let's say I am able to save these videos to the format I desire, and then I burned them to a DVD without compression (if possible). Would the DVD players being made today be able the read the files and play the footage as a normal, retail DVD, or would I need to compress them to some other video format for viewing purposes?
Thanks.
