    best codec for dv capture

    Posted by Zeliha Bozkurt on February 18, 2007 at 12:32 pm

    Hi

    I have some tapes coming in on DVCAM/DV to edit with. As it is a 2 day edit I want to digitize it in at online resulution.

    I have Blackmagic Decklink HD Pro Dual Link card.

    I wil either use Sony HVR M25 E and digitize it firewire or I the Panasonic AJ-1400 and digitize it SDI. it will depend on deck availability.

    Would it be Uncommpressed 8 bit(firewire) or Blackmagic NTSC DV uncompressed 8 bit (SDI). Not sure.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    If you use firewire to capture, you can only capture to the DV codec. If you use SDI then you’ll have the choice of going uncompressed or back to DV.
