jpeg vs dv

Hi Margus,

That’s a good question and I guess you are wondering which codec should you use if you’ve got the choice of a couple of different compressed codecs on Windows?

There are lots of ways to answer this question but the most common answer will be to use Motion JPEG as it is a superior codec in so many ways.

Okay, it use only 6 time less space than uncompressed, but it stays horrible 🙂

Then i compared M-jpg with uncompressed and i

Hi Claus-Peter,

Thanks for posting your observations and DV definitely has its uses but you’re right that uncompressed and Motion JPEG look much better. That’s pretty funny that you find Motion JPEG looks better than the uncompressed video. I can just see the advertizing now, “New Motion JPEG codec is better than Uncompressed …..” 😉

I see you’ve posted details of the bright strip further down in the forum so I’ll check that out soon. Thanks for all your information!
