Video TS convert to High Res .mov
Hi
I have a DVD that my client wants re-edited. They need the re-edited footage in as high a quality as possible so please, what’s the best technique to convert the Video TS file (losing little or none of the quality), to a file FCP can handle?
Thanks in advance

Hi Marialuisa,
Use MPGStreamclip and convert he files to 8b Uncompressed.
have a look to the Clip info and keep the same field order than the DVD stuff.
The audio to Uncompressed 48Khz.

For the very best quality export your video to a stand alone quicktime file with the 8 bit uncompressed codec. DVDs are 8 bit Ycbcr and using the 8 bit codec ensures that there is no color or re-compression issues.
MPEGStreamclip isn’t a terrible application, but I’ve seen a lot of posts of people reporting problems with it. MPEGStreamclip fails to properly read the DVDs aspect ratio on some DVD and other people have reported frame drops and field order reversal issues. I would recommend the application that I wrote called DVDxDV over MPEGStreamclip. Try them both and decide for yourself.
