uncompressed dv25…
hello cow users,
forgive me if this is simple question but does anyone know if it’s possible to edit dv25 uncompressed and what is the workflow(is any additional hardware necessary for doing so? is there such a thing? i’d like to get more out of my shots via my dvx100 without lossy dv codecs…is this possible? one reason influencing this wish is that i’ve done a couple projects that have been mastered to dvd approx. 2hrs. in length and they really didn’t look that great by the time affects and so on were applied…
i run a dual 2.5 powermac as well as a custom built 64bit pc running x64xp pro.
thanks.
ryanb.
ps:when i first got my cam i purchased in-sync blade 2.0. it was supposed to handle uncompressed dv all in realtime and within software. so this made for better dv in and cleaner mpegs out to dvd…they have since gone out of business…

Bringing DV25 in via firewire is lossless – all 1’s and 0’s…
I’m not smart enough to say what happens to it afterwards. I’ve had great success in AXPro. The footage looks good throughout the editing process. I had a heck of a time with DVD, but now that I’ve figured out that process, it’s cake.
Is your footage good? Properly exposed (check by using the Waveform / Vectorscope in the color correction mode), lit well? There are so many variables to quality footage….DV footage is sampled at 4:1:1 – meaning you don’t have that much color information in the first place. What are you using as your base standard to say your footage doesn’t look good?
