Overview
Analog vs. Digital
With repeated use, the magnetic tape used in High-8, 8 mm, VHS,
and S-VHS becomes prone to wear and tear. It gets thinner and
thinner until the video could no longer be played. On the other
hand, the quality of digital video doesn't diminish over time. You
can play DVs countless times and still expect the quality to be as
sharp as it originally was. Digitization also extends a video's life
span and allows you to enhance its original sound and picture
quality.
Digitizing analog videos is a breeze with VideoStudio, wherein data
captured from an analog device are automatically converted to
digital format. Once digitized, you can edit these footage and
output them in any disc format of your choice.
Footage can be captured from
your analog source and digitized
for editing in your PC.
