converting avi to .dv file
Does anyone know how to convert an avi file out of Premiere Pro to a .dv file that can be played on a Mac? I have tried pulling the avi file into QuickTime Pro and converting it using DV Stream, but it comes out fuzzy and low quality. Any ideas? I am deperate for an answer!!!!

Why not save it as a QT file vice converting to a .dv

I tried that as well. I exported it as an avi from Premiere Pro, brought it into QuickTime Pro and converted it to a QuickTime file and then converted the QuickTime file to a DV stream. It still look horrid. Any other suggestions? I am open to anything! My Procoding software does have the open to convert to a DV-AVI Type 1 and Type 2 file but that file still shows up as an avi. I need a good looking .dv file Help!

Stop when you make the first QT file, there is no reason for further conversion, QT files play fine on a Mac.

I know, but my client needs to play it out of a special new version of Pro Presenter that only plays .dv files.

To avoid the double conversion, output to tape and recapture on a Mac as .dv, it should be fairly lossless except for .dv

Go into QTime and change the playback settings for your rendered movie to “High Quality”. For some reason, on the PC, this is off by default, and my guess is that’s why the video looks horrid: you’re not seeing what’s really in the file.
