Converting mpeg->DV->mpeg is far too many format conversions for good quality. 2. mpeg is 4:2:0 color and DV is 4:1:1, so this sequence of conversions reduces your color resolution to 180x240. 2. Deinterlacing throws away about half of your resolution in the B&W part of the signal. If you use the WinTV USB2 PVR to capture in mpeg you may like to use avidemux2_gtk to cut and remultiplex your files to a DVD PS without any reencoding. Then use dvdauthor to write the files to a DVD to give the best digital transfer of your Hi8 footage to DVD.
