HDV full quality export from pro 2.0
Hi,
I am working on Premiere Pro 2.0 with an HDV project and I am wondering which settings to use to output a full quality version of a section of it.
The source footage is HDV MPEG-2 (rather than Matrox HDV-AVI for example).
I suppose the main thing is whether there is an HDV equivalent to a standard DV-AVI export setting with standard definition which will keep exactly the same quality as the original captured footage?
Many thanks,

Sorry to be the one…there is no Santa Clause. Between changing the scale and recompressing the result again, there will be notable quality loss.
It is better to down-convert in the camera and capture as DV.avi -
sorry, i don’t think i was clear on what i meant. i do still want to keep an hdv quality file (in terms of no compression, same ratio and size etc), but i want to know if there is a simple output option for full quality hdv (in the same way as a dv-avi is a simple output file for SD which keeps original quality with preset specs).
or failing that, what are the best settings to use and which file type for the best export?
cheers

Your best bet is a format that you can use to author a Blu ray HDTV disc in the future when burners/players/TVs are less expensive. These will not need to be re compressed again but cannot be reedited either, at least without a huge hit..
2 formats are available; Mpeg 2 and H264. In the Adobe Media Encoder you will see these 2 formats and a number of presets for each.
There is no DV.avi equivalent in the HD world without a 3 rd party card like Deck Link or AJA or the Cineform codec and saving those files for future editing will be tough due to the huge file sizes.
