Working on a project with video clips over 25 years old. Have been producing .avi files and clips then putting them all together.

What's the best format to use when burning the entire project to a DVD?

Thanks

Andy

You may get better quality by producing MPEG2 files, because that is what DVDs use. This would eliminate one of your format changes, which generally reduces quality. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
