I'm always namuseds at the failed-at-lossless crowds, they never fail to jump in with "advice" about something they have no experience with. They want more "comparisons", but people have been posting tests and comparisons since Windows 3.1 and as far back as I can remember since Bm and the Canopus sites starting muscling in on analog capture. Why would one think that if the same thing is repeated, somehow the outcome will be different?

But you're correct. if your skill level at capture isn't so great and your overall knowledge of video properties and restoration islikewise, you're better off with DV capture. Why ride a proper bike when you can use the three-wheel trainer and learn so much less? Then the lossy crowd can advise how to clean up the bleed as well as the crushed darks and blown-out brights.
I have never once seen any results posted from you. Just endless attitude and bitterness. I've posted hundreds of scripts and countless videos. I try to help people, not berate them.
