I found some old family video originally on VHS. They were digitalized in 2013, the video codec is 720x480, 29.97fps, Planar 4:1:1 YUV color, in DV Video NTSC

And the audio is 16 bit SOWT.

The file is around 35GB for a 2.5 hr video. I calculated an average of around 31mbps

I still find the quality unsatisfactory, though I'm sure the 30+ year old tapes aren't great to begin with. Can I get any more image quality from re-digitizing now? And if so, what codec should I go with?
