When you are done editing:
Export using “Current Settings” Make self-contained. This is your digital master – keep it forever.
Take that file and:
Drop it into compressor and choose a DVD preset (You can tweak settings if you know what you are doing)
OR
Import it into DVDSP and let it encode to mpeg2 for you in the back ground.
OR
drop it into toast with the DVD Video settings.

Once edit is complete you said you’re making a DVD.
That is your best settings.
Do you know how to make a DVD?Chris Tompkins

Nice ideas Mark. I agree that this would be a better approach then low budget morphing.

Through any compression software. You should invest in some.
However, “Compressor” comes with FCP and should do the job for you.
Also, QT pro will export it to another format if you can open and read the AVI on your system.
After Effects will also do it for you.Chris Tompkins

I’m sure there are others.
You could do some neat effects/transitions in AE too.

It’s all the same – DVNTSC or DVPAL.
Putting that tape into a large studio VTR or a $200 palmcorder – it’s still going to play the dv tape as dv25.Running the capture into an ext. HD b/4 the comp. can cause issues.
If you have capture issues, you could unplug that FW drive and capture straight into the imac.
Finsh capture.
Plug FW drive back in and drag files to the ext. drive for editing.Chris Tompkins

Is the camera panning? or lock down?
You’d have to get the guy to walk across the scene @ the exact same pace both times, same steps. Could make steps on the ground. Have someone with a stop watch.Then, morphing software would be the best choice here.
Could pull something off in AE.
Could shoot a rough no thrills test anyway.A side view my yield less then dramatic results.
Walking towards the camera will make more impact.Chris Tompkins
