.mov dv to tape

[Mike Velte]

If your PC is fast enough, the DV.mov files mught play out to tape from the timeline without using the Export option which would require a rerender, but the DV editing mode is the only Project setting that will play out via firewire.

I believe that the only difference between a file captured with a Mac, and one captured with a PC is the header information. The data from the tape itself must, by definition, be identical.

There are conversion programs, I believe, that can change out the header info for you. So no rendering.

Steven,
do you have any names of these conversion programs? this is very critical for us as I have a new Axio system and am doing a lot of online for FCP people.
I have found out in the last few days that either PPro or Axio reverses the fields in a QT DV file from FCP. You have to reverse field order on the clips in PPro to make it work. this is after opening the qt files in a 720×486 8bit uncompressed Axio project.
Very frustrating!!!
