I have been archiving video for several years in many different formats, and
I can only give you one piece of advice: you should make your best effort to
record the first time in the format that you want the video to stay in
forever. If it is destined for DVD, record straight to MPEG-2. You don't
necessarily have to burn it to DVD right away. Recompression sucks.
