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 custom built 64bit pc/x64xp pro/adobe cs premium production studio.
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…

There’s not really any such thing as uncompressed DV25 – DV25 describes a compression scheme. DV25 is a broader, “family” term for the DV/DVCAM/DVCPro compression schemes using data rates of 25Mb/s (see https://www.dvcollections.com/support_dvcompress.html if you like.
Your DVX 100 records DV format, in 24p (progressive scan) or PAL 25 fps / NTSC 30 fps.
You can capture it using PPro via a standard firewire (also called IEEE 1394, iLink) connector and edit in the normal way. The capture-to-edit-system process does not affect what’s recorded, so shouldn’t cause you any quality drop.
Poor quality on output could result from poor footage, from using low-quality effects or using effects badly, from rendering out to an intermediate compressed format before output, or quite likely from the settings in your final compress to MPEG2 for DVD use.
