  • importing wmv file into dv project

    Posted by Lillian Fidler on February 23, 2009 at 8:15 pm

    I have a news clip in wmv format (the only format I was able to get) and the quality looks pretty bad. I would really like to use the clip and am wondering if there’s any way to bring the quality up by converting the file for example.

    Thank you.

    Many .wmv files are less than full video resolution, depending on the source. Scaling it up will not help, and may make it look worse.

    As for artifacts and color, that depends on the original file. In all likelihood, it’s not going to improve on the original, as you’re trying to stretch less information across more space and time.

    I wish you luck – you’re going to be having some frustration, I’ll wager.
