Hello BenB & Thanks everyone - Regarding extraction of VOB's PC vs. Mac is it possible to create files that wouldn't require render in FC 6.0.6? After some testing, it seems 'unlikely,' (both Stream Clip exports and PC exports) required render. This LARGE quantity of DVD's contain archival footage, (all the same SD format). They are NOT professional HD Dubs. The final production will be in 'Standard Definition' for DVD.
*The goal is for (extraction, storage and future editing).
In an effort to preserve older Mac Desktops which draw HEAT, would like to use my PC (if possible with suitable results), for VOB extractions. *The goal is for (extraction, storage and future editing).
BenB made an interesting valid point, (considering the nature of these files); "NOTHING you do will enhance the quality of this very old video" I agree, you can't get a Cadillac out of a Volkswagon. I'd like to also avoid 'Re-Encoding' during the final production export. *The goal is for (extraction and storage) for later editing. That said, would H.264 be an appropriate file?

Are there noticeable differences using a PC (Wondershare) vs. Mac environment (Stream Clip) for the VOB extractions? Would H.264 be appropriate for archiving, and future editing?
