Have you looked Apples documentation on this topic?

The post I put it under…

If you work in DV you should expect these problems, compression issues… thats why you should work in uncompressed or HD…

The problem of color space, and gamma… is less the problem, then the fact that its DV… and that you are dealing with compressed footage, which is always more difficult to work with…

But this is just my opinion, since I don’t like DV, its hard to composite with and color correct.. since there isn’t a lot of color information in the frames.

The issue becomes your using a very compressed codec (DV), and you are then compressing it more. The problem becomes that because programs don’t handle compression in the same way you end up with the type of problems that you have been dealing with.

best of luck

Thats what I thought, but figured it was worth a try

Actually if you use XSAN it is my understanding that the maximum volume size is 2PB, I could be wrong though.

As to the mpeg component not being avalible in QT7 your probably right, now that you mention it I seem to remember the option being avalible in QT6 pro.

As to why your compression to MPEG 2 looks try this:

Try using compression markers, to keyframe compression quality at those points where you seem to be losing it. (you can do this in compressor or final cut)

Your bit rate may have some thing to do with the problem, but I would imagine it is the I-frame order on the footage you aren’t getting the quality frames where you need them.

The other thing is it could be because you work in DV, which is already heavily compressed. Personally I work with uncompressed footage so I never run into this problem.

Hope this helps

Hey Brent

Does your editor friend have DVD studio pro installed? if so I think that might be the reason, since the MPEG2 codec apple sells is a playback only.

What exactly was your problem with Compressor?
