  How to Recompress audio and video

  Posted by Paddy Kean on January 9, 2010 at 10:14 pm

  You all sound like pros, so I apologize for the newbie question, but one’s got to start somewhere.
  I have already imported my .dv footage into FCP 6.0, though in playback I get the buzz in the audio, as I have now learned, due to unrendered files (audio and video?). Do I need to re-import the footage, or can I recompress. If I recompress, how does one exactly do that? Thanks for all and any help.

  Paddy,

  you need to transcode your footage to .mov instead of .dv. Been a while since I looked at that format footage, so I’m unsure if QT pro can read it or not. (If there is a plugin in QT use the “export” function and select DV output there.) If not, grab something like VLC and output as DV settings with .mov setting. Give that a try–should react better in FCP.

  Hi Josh,
  Thanks for the reply. I realize now I should have entered this under Basic forum, but I simply jumped in. When I go to QT pro, under export there is only the option of DV streaming. No other DV option available. There also is no option for VLC, but there is for FLC. May I use that? Thanks so much for your reply.

  Transcoding simply means I’m changing the file code so FCP can utilize and read it better?
