What is the best way to get high quality video from miniDV tapes made on a Panasonic PV-GS120 and VHS SP tapes on a Windows 10 PC?
My old Windows XP PC had a Firewire connection. I had used a DVI to Firewire cable and the Panasonic supplied software or built in Windows media creator to import .AVI files for use with Adobe Premier Elements or supplied software to make DVDs of our home movies. My supplied Panasonic software is not for Windows 10 and new pc has no firewire. I just upgraded the latest Adobe Premier Elements 22 but not sure that can help with the import.
I do have a Toshiba VHS/DVD Combo Recorder/Player that can take S-Video IN and make a DVD. I'm not sure if this camcorder is 480 of 720 but I'd like to keep the same quality it records in which used to be good. Combo unit can make direct DVDs but the menus it creates mostly won't play on a standard DVD player. I could import to DVDs in Premiere Elements to trim and add menus and chapters but i read that this would save to MPEG2 twice lowering quality.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
