  Can I export as “.dv” within PPro?

  Hi,

  I am working with a client who broadcasts footage in .dv format… Apparently this is what their playout system works with.

  At the moment, due to file transfer time deadlines and size limits, I am sending my files as mpeg… avi takes ages to send thru FTP.

  The files are 15-20 minute long and for actual TV broadcast…

  However, they then need to convert it into their .dv format to be able to play it out…

  Now:

  1- I know I’m losing quality when I export as mpeg, but is there any further loss when they convert into .dv?

  2- Does Premiere Pro CS3 support .dv? Is there any way that I can export the project as a .dv file within Premiere Pro to avoid any further quality loss?

  3- Also, any other suggestions to export the footage with a better qualkity is more than welcome.

  Here are the export settings I use for Adobe Media Encoder:

  FORMAT: MPEG2
  TV STANDARD: PAL
  FRAME SIZE: 720×576
  FRAME RATE: 25
  FIELD ORDER: NON PROGRESSIVE
  PIXEL ASPECT RATIO: 16:9 (1.422)
  PROFILE: MAIN
  LEVEL: MAIN
  BITRATE ENCODING: CBR 8Mbps
  GOP SETTINGS: M FRAMES 3 – N FRAMES 12

  Thanks for all the thoughts…

  Regards
