Quicktime Pro, Compressor, Episode.

I don’t know if Cleaner or Squeeze make DV.AVI on the Mac.

Does Episode output to AVI? That would be great if it did. I looked on their sight and didn’t see that as an output optionl. It will make a DV stream but I still need a way to get it into an AVI wrapper. Also, what is the standard audio codec for an DV-AVI file.

Just use Quicktime Pro – but in all honesty there is no reason why the MPEG-4 version wouldn’t play perfectly, the DV-AVI will be much more of a strain on his system.

Usually, for me, if someone wants a DV AVI it’s because they may want to do further editing. Nothing wrong with that. Episode can create DV, DVCPro, DVCPro50 AVI both 4:3 and 16:9. Audio should be PCM, 48kHz.

I have clips capture on FCP on with DV codec, send it to a client who needs DV-AVI, and doesn’t work.. How do I export.. as a DV stream or what settings did I need to use to ensure it will work on a PC DV-AVI

Thanks

You can export to DV AVI from FCP or Quicktime Pro. Set Export Movie to AVI, click on options, set video to DV/DVCPRO NTSC (or DV PAL), set audio to uncompressed 48kHz, 16 bit, stereo. Quicktime also has Export to DV Stream (use options to set format particulars).
