Vintage by heart
Over 13 years ago, I transfer videos recorded on a mini DV tape camera to a Panasonic DVD recorder DMR-EZ20 via firewire. The content of the DVD disks is like this:
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.VOB
etc.
When I play the DVD disk using the Panasonic DVD recorder on a TV, the TV will display a few icons (with different titles assigned by myself when I transferred the files from the DV tape to DVD). Choose an icon enables me to see different chapter of the DVD.
Some of the DVD disks are degrading. Therefore I would like to use a laptop to transfer the DVD disks to PC format. I am using a freeware called Handbrake. What is the best format (MkV, MP4, etc) for the transfer? What resolution and encoder (e.g. 1080p30, H.264x264) should I use to get the best video quality?
