f4v video to DVD
I shot a video on my DSLR camera and converted the files to f4v so that I can edit them in Premiere. The quality wasn’t great when watching it back on a TV. I have a few questions:
– Since f4v formats are mostly for web based videos should I not use this to export to DVD?
– The timeline is finished but all the files are in f4v format. If I transer the original footage to a higher quaility file can I just relink all the f4v files on the timeline to the new files without losing everything?

Not sure why you felt it necessary to convert the original files in order to edit them. What version of Premiere are you using? What did you use to transcode the files?

DVDs use their own format (.m2v and .ac3) so regardless of what format you use in your timeline the file will have to be transcoded – and don’t forget that DVD is Standard Definition so don’t expect pictures to ever be as good as your original High Def. footage.

Someone with more knowledge of Premiere Pro than I have should answer this. I have a feeling no, especially if you might have renamed the original clips. Not sure if this is something Prelude might have as features.
