1.6.1

I use the 480p preset. either the standard or the high quality one. I find the HQ one gives just a tinge more detail that you may want to keep. But encode time will take longer.
If the footage was from VHS, high 8, DV, or any other interlaced source, you may want to turn on bob deinterlacing and change the frame rate to same as source. Or make it a constant 59.94. This will help retain the feel of the smooth rate of the original footage.

Thank you so much for the reply. The original footage was from a Sony 8 DV. I am not sure how to turn on bob deinterlacing, I can do the rest. I appreciate your help.
