Differences between FCP movie export and QT Export??? recompresses?

[Martin Baker]

Because DV is compressed approximately 5:1 and uncompressed is not!

Not to belabor a point, but to further our education: So doing the “QT conversion” and selecting uncompressed takes what was DV and converts it into a hog of a file. But that file is no better than the still-compressed “export QT” DV file, since both files are created from DV media to begin with. Nothing gained by the big file, and possibly something lost because “QT Conversion” always goes through some processing that “export QT” at current settings does not. Do I have that right?

And, thanks, again!
