converting/playing .dv clips to quicktime
A client sent me 2 clips that are in .dv format.
I am unable to open them or convert them in quicktime so I can edit with them in FCP.Thx for your help.

What happens if you change the suffix to .mov?

I just tried it, changed .dv to .mov and it asked if I wanted to and I said “yes” and unfortunately,
it still would not open.drag..
any other ideas?
Thx

Yes, two. Open it iMovie (i think that’s where .dv files come from) or try MPEG Streamclip. It’s free. What’s weird is that it should open in QUicktime. There might be something wrong with the files themselves. How big are they?

Jeremy,
I tried to drag and drop the file into MPeg Streamclip already.
Do you happen to know the right procedure? The files are small clips (2 min each).
Never even tried iMovie. The files came from a DVD.>>try MPEG Streamclip. It’s free. What’s weird is that it should open in QUicktime. There might be something wrong with the files themselves. How big are they?
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you,Paula

What I meant was, what are the file size of the clips?
Dragging and dropping should work with MPEG Streamclip.
I am beginning to think that your files are bad.

I think you’re right the .dv files are ng,
MPEG Streamclip would not let me drop the files in.
I ended up getting the original file from the clients machine.Thanks again for your help!
