capture settings
I have 25 full 63min mini DV tapes to capture for a client.
What would be the best capture settings and codec to use for;
1. DV
2. HDVCapturing using Sony Deck & using FCP 7
I would like to keep file sizes to a minimum and the end product doesn’t need to be HDV but im just curious of the file sizes ill get from the two different formats.
Cheers Matt

If you are capturing through FW, you capture the original codec.
To capture as HDV you would need to resize and transcode on the fly.[Matt Walker] “I would like to keep file sizes to a minimum and the end product doesn’t need to be HDV but im just curious of the file sizes ill get from the two different formats.”
Same size. DV and HDV have the same data rate: 25 Mbps.

Both DVand HDV occupy 13gb storage per hour tape.
