It is all up to you how you want to do it. If you have a miniDV camcorder capable of the feed thru then I would recommend that you use the WinDV to capture as DV-AVI type 2. This is the best format in my opinion. You can use PD20 to edit and produce a DVD folder, mp4, and deinterlace using other tools, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion. So capturing as DV-AVI type 2 better for editing than using PD to capture the video as MPEG-2?

I am trying to batch capture video from my miniDV camcorder but without success. I have my camcorder connected to my PC via Firewire (Vantec UGT-FW210). After selecting the batch capture option, PD collects all and displays all of the intervals fine. However, when I perform the second step to actually captur the video, PD would capture maybe 2 to 10 intervals before stalling out. I have to force the program to exit to get out completely.
The PD capture settings I am using are all default. The intervals are mostly fairly short (1 to 5 minutes). The tape I'm trying to capture has approximately 130 intervals. Of note, this is the first time trying to capture something with this setup. I am able to capture the entire tape via WinDV, though it would save one more step if I could do this with PD.
Any suggestions?

Hi, as a real newbie in the world of digital video editing, I've (finally) taken up the massive project of transferring my years of video recordings on various tape formats to digital. My first basic question: What are the recommended file formats I should be capturing the videos when capturing them? I will be capturing from miniDV, Hi8, and VHS tapes.
I've got my miniDV camcorder connected to my PC via FireWire. I plan to connect my HI8 and VCR via SVHS to my miniDV camcorder input in order to output the video to the computer (at least that's the theory, I haven't tried it yet).
My thought is to capture using the best file types, edit the videos, then produce the final files for output to TV. Sorry, as a newbie, my technical knowledge in this area is somewhat limited 😝
Recommendations for the file capture format as well as any newbie gotchas I should be aware of?
