Capturing uncompressed
I want to capture footage from tape to my comp with the best quality as possible. So i’m thinking can you capture it uncompressed or do i have to stick with the standard dv settings in premiere pro 2.

i use this camera https://www.kieskeurig.nl/product/1D8B5EC9960E3A71C12570F800431D73.htm
But i’m guessing you’re saying that when i record footage it automatically stores in dv?

You got it! The transfer to the computer is exactly whats on tape with just a ID/data wrapper added so the computer knows what it is, firewire is just a high-speed serial port. making the footage uncompressed increases the size of a DV file also, DV is compressed 5:1 with 4:1:1 quantization of color which is also a form of compression, take the time to do some research and find out what the size and data rate will be for a uncompressed video file, also making uncompressed doesn’t increase the original quality of whats on tape

Your camera records compressed in DV format. No sense in uncompressing it. Just use DV type 2.
