DV NTSC to 10bit Uncompressed transcoding
I’ve adopted an independent film for finishing. The director shot mini DV using advanced pull down. The 29.97 dv ntsc media was converted to 23.98. Currently, we’re doing test to blow up the footage and record it out to film. The facility doing the blowup is requesting a 10 bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 SD quicktime. I’ve found the best results thus far in exporting a DVNTSC quicktime and transcoding it through Compressor. My question is this: will onlining the tapes with a capture setting at 10 bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 provide a better image for blow up and record out to film than simply exporting a quicktime in my native setting and running it through Compressor? I’m under the impression that this is one in the same.

Ian,
You are correct. The only advantage to going with the 10 bit is that your graphics and text will look better, ’cause they get re-rendered in 10 bit.
Have a wonderful day.
