6/26/2023 0 Comments Dvdxdv pro vs. dvdxdvSince most video files are compressed in some way, my blanket statement could be somewhat confusing. But you have a good point.Īnd you are correct, I should clarify that Final Cut does not like video that has been compressed for the web or DVD. Also, since DV is higher quality than DVD I haven’t seen the need to get even higher quality. Photo-JPEG is amazing – the only problem with ProRes is that files are 5-6 times bigger than DV, which causes a problem for some.

Speaking of MPEG-2, I know what you mean, but this might be a little confusing. Oh and you also say, Final Cut doesn´t like compressed video. For me, ProRes is the new Photo JPEG and I think with the increasing power of the maschines and the increasing performance and size of hard drives, there is really no need to use DV anymore (unless you have it on tape). Also, if you have Roxio Toast, you can use it to export the multiplexed video stream to something that you can edit (100, but you can often find it on sale or with a rebate). In my experience you get much better results from the Photo JPEG 75% setting (of course you have to tweak the real time enabler file, otherwise editing is a real pain).Īnd now that there´s ProRes around, I really wouldn´t use that (Photo JPEG) either. DVDxDV (and DVDxDV Pro) is a software application meant for doing just what you are trying to do (50 to 80, depending on the version you purchase). I just read your January issue and you recommended to convert DVD material to DV for editing. However, one thing I don´t like, is that you seem to keep pushing the DV format. It would be better to convert this into DV using either DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip, then edit the resulting file. Larry replies: Final Cut really does not like compressed video. I would of course want to avoid to recompress it again… Is it true? I will have to export it to be played on some kind of media player in MPEG-2 format. I have a friend who says it is possible to edit MPEG-2 directly in the timeline of FCP. I’m doing a project where we will have to use already compressed material from DVDs (also commercial DVDs but totally legal though, we will have all the rights cleared) because of timeframe and costs.
