Brendon Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 What are the advantages/disadvantages of using MPEG-2 rather than AVI DV and are there any restrictions on using either ? For what ?? The best format of video to use for the job depends on just what "the job" is, doesn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yes! guess you are going to want more info… DV AVI – uncompressed - fast to edit – lossless format Downside… really big files. MPEG – small files Downside… compressed – loses quality if re-rendered a time or two - can suck the life out of an editor You have to choose. If archival – DV AVI hands down. If mundane, 10th ranked high school basketball warm-up game… mpeg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
