In the purpose of helping players reach their full  potential, the professional basketball coaches always take advantage of a program  called Video Hoops Lt, which has been design and built specifically for  basketball, to analyze the performance of each player, including analysis on both  offensive and defensive possessions, all standard basketball statistical  information, such as shots, rebounds, turnovers, etc., and search logged  information to create game situation clips for viewing or creating a new video  file. By this means, the coaches are able to rearrange playbook of the training  and teach players how to improve their performance during a game.

Since Video Hoops Lt is a great teaching tool to track  team possessions, individual statistics and performance, it has become an  absolutely necessary program for both basketball coaches and players. The  training or game info recorded on a DVD based camcorder, or the important game about  other teams from purchased DVDs usually need to be captured to Video Hoops Lt  to do further analyzing for reference, the problem lies in that Video Hoops Lt  is only able to support DV and MPEG1 file formats well, the DVD source is hard  to be loaded directly. In that case, the users have to transcode the DVD to a  DV or MPEG1 format in advance. At this point, one more thing should be noticed  that a DV video file will provide a higher quality picture than the MPEG1 file,  however the DV file will require more hard drive storage space. For a typical 1  hour and 30 minutes basketball video, the MPEG1 file will range in size from 1  to 3 gigabits and the DV file will range in size from 15 to 20 gigabits. Although  the DV format requires much more storage space, to recall the game clips in a  clear way, DV format is a recommended format.

Come back to the point, to convert DVD to a DV format, the  assistance from Pavtube DVD Ripper is essential, because this program has the format option  for AVI with DV Codec (*.avi), and audio and video out of sync issues are  ensured never to happen via using it.

When choosing the DV AVI  format, you must make sure which format is available in your area, NTSC or PAL.  NTSC is a video  format used in North America, Central America, Japan, and parts of South America; PAL is the  video format used in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, most of Asia, and parts  of South America. You should select a correct one  according to your geographical region.

After the format conversion is done,  the assistant or head  basketball coaches are able to import the valuable video info pertaining to player time,  team possessions, player statistical events, etc. to Video Hoops Lt for deep  analysis and further editing without trouble.
