I don't know if there's ever going to be "one." I would have thought for firewire caption of DV, the best choice would be a straight dump of what the camera gives you. That way, there's no transcoding, and whenever someone gets around to using the data, they can use it as-is, and render out with whatever's best at the time. And what's great as an editing source format this year, mayn't be next year, as editing applications change, and different CODECs become popular. That's harder to think about for other analogue formats, that need to be captured, first. But one option has always been, at least when I've used other computer systems, was to play the analogue recording through a digital camera that has analogue inputs, too, and can work as your capture device (e.g. VHS into analogue in, DV out into PC's Firewire) for the signal to be passed through it (E-E, not re-record and replay). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
