Hey,
I just converted my family home movies (old super 8 footage with no audio) to a digital file using a canopus converter to import vhs footage into Final Cut Pro. When finished, I exported the file as a Final Cut Quicktime. The footage is roughly 1 1/2 hours and the exported file is 23.5 gigs. I tried compressing the file using an old software called cleaner to compress down to 1 1/2 gigs but the footage became slightly pixelated when viewed in quicktime full frame. I don't mind cutting up the footage into 1-5 dvd's to maintain quality but am at a loss about what software and what settings would be ideal. let me know if you have any ideas and thanks.
