Hallo to All,
I am Frank from Germany, sorry for my not perfct english.
I am interesting in VideoStudio because somebody told me that VideoStudio is using the format AVI 2. That should have a better quality than AVI 1.
But I never found any things about in the dokumentation of the software.
It is important for me to know, because I want to order the digitalization of old super 8 films and they have to know if I am using AVI 1 oder 2.
Best Regards
Frank
AVI I and AVI II, no information within the doc's!

I imagine you are indeed talking about DV/AVI format, and as John has already indicated, VS10 and !! (and indeed all versions I have used since VS7 onwards) can capture in DV/AVI Type 1 and Type 2 formats.
But I am not quite sure it is possible to say that Type 2 is better in quality than Type 1. Type 2 encodes the audio and video in two separate streams (though within only one file) whereas Type 1 encodes the audio and video in one stream. Type 2 is preferred by professionals who have the programs that can make use of the separate streams of audio and video, but as far as I am aware, VS does not distinguish between the two types.
Finally, you need to have a relatively well resourced computer in order to be able to capture Type 2 successfully.
