Have a hundred old videos (720 x 576) digitized. I obtained about 150 Gb videos in mpg format 720 x 576. To save time and quality I try to delete unwanted clips with video remaker, which works quite well. I would also like to make transitions to save on quality. But the latter is not possible. The "transition" icon does not light up, it remains gray. What's the problem. I work with windows 10 on a laptop. Codec problem? A solution please.

To: Biggrand

The reason is that DVD MPEG-2 video is an interlaced video (not progressive), and there's no possibility to use transitions in AVSVideoRemaker with partial reencoding (for transition). You should use AVSVideoEditor in such cases with full reencoding.

Hi RomanN,
Thanks for your response. I had hoped that the solution would be a missing codec. Not so.
I have already done tests with AVSVideoEditor, but the quality was not satisfactory.
My intention is to add a few transitions to my collection of old videos (1994 - 2005) after removing unnecessary clips.
To finally save the videos on my NAS. And then later to share with family and / or friends.
Which, in your opinion, is the best conversion for the new videos. Do I use the same formats.

Thank in advance and maybe later.

AVSVideoConverter is more suitable program for conversion from old DVD/MPG video with MPEG-2 codec, because it has special profiles (presets):
MP4: "DVD to MP4",
AVI: "DVD to AVI",
MOV: "QuickTime - DVD to MOV",
MKV: "DVD to MKV".

These profiles automatically perform the appropriate resizing for anamorphic video:
MPEG-2 720x576 4:3 -> H.264 768x576,
MPEG-2 720x576 16:9 -> H.264 1024x576,
MPEG-2 720x480 4:3 -> H.264 720x540,
MPEG-2 720x480 16:9 -> H.264 852x480.

We recommend you to use profile "DVD to MP4", because now the MP4 format is the most popular and widespread.

Please also check the Settings:
Settings -> Processing -> Type - Super
Settings -> Processing -> "Enable enhanced deinterlacing method" - checked.

To RomanN :

Thank you for the expert explanation. Go try it right away.
Regards.
