I don’t think you can directly do a replace.
Feeling gutsy? (“Sure” says Zuo)
Try exporting an XML, using text edit to find/replace, save and then import the XML back to fcp.

Click on one of the movies.
CMD-I get information.
Set the OPEN WITH: to QuickTime
Change all.
FCP will leave .mov alone after that.

Phani,
I don’t think DV carries the metadata of when it was shot. Sorry.

Alex,
Depending on the material, the footage looks better or worse (no surprise there, eh?)
Best way for you to become familiar with the artifacts is to *actually compress it* Google Mosquito noise and MPEG2 artifacts.
It will look ‘normal’ as in FCP if you go high enough.
(no surprises here, eh?)

I’d go in around 20-23 megabits. I don’t have a favorite – solely because blu ray has been a bit of a black hole – while I’ve burnt a couple, it’s been headachy enough that I’ve been trying to avoid when possible. (Sure, it works on your blu ray player, but theirs?)
Here’s some ‘general’ theory. If SD looks good (MPEG2) at around 4-5 mb/s, and HD is 4-6 times denser, then around 16-24 should be the sweet spot (low data spot) for it to look good (of course, your mileage may vary, try it yourself with your own codecs, etc. Stay away from sharp objects and don’t run with scissors.) h.264 is more efficient, so you should be able to generally get a better look for far less; but for both codecs, there will be some footage that requires higher data rates.

h.264 is harder/longer to encode – but better looking at lower data rates than mpeg-2

Alex, I’m confused:
Are you using the MPEG 2 5.0 mb/s or are you doing an MPEG2 @ 33/38 bit rate?I’m assuming you’re in compressor – have you tried the MPEG2 @ bluray setting?

Sure. Can you get one of the [Andres Lopez-Ovejero] ” of the other guys’ stuff”?
Drop the h.264 into the Compressor Preset window – you’ll get their exact formula.
I suspect that something else is going on; for example, using a cluster actually worsens compression because the ‘VBR’ part is limited to the segment each cluster gets.
First try their settings and then come back and report what happened (and what they were!)
