.dv to uncompressed quicktime
Hello,
I hope something can explain something to me.
I have a short clip which is a DV – PAL file (extension is .dv) The file size is 110 MB. Now the quality of the clip is quite crappy. Especially text looks really bad. And it just looks a bit choppy.
Now I opened it in Quicktime exported it as an uncompressed quicktime 10-bit, 4:2:2. Then the clip looks really good.
But I don’t understand why. I always learned that crappy video’s can’t be made into good quality videos. So why does this work?Thank you,

In Quicktime you need to set the ‘High Quality checkbox to ‘On’. I can’t remember if you need Quicktime Pro to do this or not.
Rest assured that the low quality version is only for viewing -all the quality is there.

Thank you very much for your reply. When I checked the High Quality boxed everything looks perfect.
