Best way to make wmv/mpeg files of DV-tapes
 

What is the way you do it? And what hardware do you use? Any extra card?

I used to simply connect thecamera to my firewire card. But what if you only have DV tapes. What hardware/software combination do you prefer?

DV file on DVD, get the mpeg2 codec, premiere and make a nice AVI, thats how I do it.

If you?re editing with premiere pro then invest in this
Hardware

I do all my work from Mini DV
And let me tell you this thing is awesome

Couple it up with ProCoder 2 and you?ll have all your capture, editing encoding needs covered.

It?s like injecting steroids into premiere pro

I capture video from DV using my firewire port of an Audigy audio card :)
and then i use sony vegas & dvd architect to edit my recording and convert in to avi/mpg

Well all these tools are great. However, what I need todo is very limited.

This is what it should do.

From DV tape to WMV in different formats. To mpegs in different formats

I should be able to add my domainname on the video. And I should be able to remove some stuff. This is all. I have the feeling premiere is GREAT. But that I will only use 2% of the capabilities of this software..

vegas video, pinnacle will do the job....

Pinnacle studio? Because that one does not output wmv formats...
