trying to minimize the quality loss when burning high definition video from camcorder

onhuan · 10-09-2018, 08:13 PM

HD videos take up much space for storage. BD is more enough and seems the best choice to save the videos without quality loss. But, it will be a problem to play and extract them. After all, I first need to buy a Blu-ray player or Blu-ray drive, if I wish to watch it on home TV or computer. On the contrary, DVD is convenient and cost less. But the picture quality can't be fully copied when burning them to disc with DVD creator.

Or there is another better choice?

Try using a USB 3.0 flash drive, a bit more expensive, but you can do a direct copy.

Then run an HDMI output from a good video card out to the TV and use the computer as a playback device.

I use a couple of 2 terabyte hard drive's on a USB 3.0 connection and direct store the program's to them.

I use a video card from ""Blackmagic Design"" to capture the HDMI video and also their software, it's expensive stuff but works.
