Help
I know there have been a lot of questions regarding converting VHS to DVD but I could not find the answer to my question.
Since VHS recordings are a lower quality media, I would think that using a 8000 KBPS bitrate (what I normally use when producing my DVD) would be overkill. What is the lowest bitrate that I can use without sacrificing quality?

The key thing is the copy will never be as good as the source. Also, depends what you want to do with final product.
Bitrate goes hand-to-hand with the length of movie and size of media you want to burn it.
The beauty of MPEG2 is it can vary between 3000-8000+ so only factor is the size of media or space you have. Just use the highest possible to fit on media.
Most encoding software have built-in calculators. i.e. 4300MB is max for 4.7 DVDR disc.
*If source is derived from VCR then you may to use Noise reduction, sharpness filters etc. but use them sparingly.
