I think you may have your mires crossed a little here…
Uncompressed video is video that has been digitised or created at an uncompressed resolution, not something that has been compressed and subsequently UN-compressed.
Once you create / digitise / compress a video using a codec which discards a certain amount of data, it is impossible to get that data back unless you have a source of a higher resolution to refer back to.
DV codecs compress at 5:1, which means you are discarding data which you can’t get back. Create your AE movies as uncompressed AVIs or MOVs to retain maximum quality, whatever your destination.
