    Tried using the Quicktime compression with PAL DV, the files are about 10x the size, which is just ridiculous.

    There has to be a way to get the standard DV video I have got, that plays in every other program on Mac, not skip in Final Cut.

    Cheers,

    One of the options under MPEG Streamclip is “Export to DV”, then under that I chose the DV(DV25) Compression at PAL 720×576,25fps.

    It works fine on Quicktime and my Windows PC.

    I have converted one of the file to Quicktime using “Apple Motion JPEG A” compression at 100% quality, 1024×576, 25fps. But I noted the file is huge now, even bigger than DV.

    So what would you recommend the compression I use is? I need widescreen and want to keep pretty decent quality, but don’t really have the space to have all these massive files.

    The original file was MPEG2 with AC3, but was having troubles with that so converted to DV (as mentioned above).

    Yeah, tried reseting the preferences, no luck.

    What should I encode this DV video to? Assuming that every other type of video works, I may as well just encode this as something else.

    I have MPEG Streamclip and don’t really want to lose any quality.

    Yeah, it plays in QT fine. That is what’s so weird about it.

    Don’t know about it being the hard drive, the difference would be marginal between 5,400rpm and 7,200rpm.
