editing m2vs…
client wants a few “highlights” from his previous DVD’s, and the only files i kept were the m2v and ac3 files (no more video on tape, nor QT’s on hard drive). i could butt them together in DVD SP, but was hoping to at least do dissolves between them (which DVD SP won’t do). could take them to FCP, but they seem to get degraded when demuxing back into QTs for editing. what do you guys do in a case like this?

What are you using to convert them? Have you tried MPEG Streamclip (shareware program)?
That’s a good program, but a lot of times I find that I’m even happier with burning a DVD and playing it in a stand-alone DVD player which I then capture the analog outputs of. S-Video is good, component is better if you can do it.
Either way, I find that this method always works well whereas software conversions can be more hit-or-miss.

As Jeff said, I think its either MPEG streamclip/DV-DVD or DVD player into card route. Either way its not going to look great. You are going through multiple concantinations (new word I’ve been dying to use).

Yes MPGStreamclip but export at least in 8/10B Uncompressed.

“no more video on tape”
Always keep your original tapes.
