You upload the video from your hard drive and pick render settings and things. It will have the same settings as the software, though.  </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-best-to-convert-avi-into-quicktime-dv-or-mov#post-37422 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:30:35 +0000 bobjr94 37422@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When you captured it to your computer, was it captured as a dv video ?  If it was, then the avi file you have is the same as the raw video file on the tape.  You can see if you can export the video to tape, then send them the 2nd copy. If you take the avi file and convert it to any other format then you will be loosing quality and it will no longer be the raw video.</p> <p>And if you captured the video in another format (mpeg 4, divx, wmv, mpeg,etc) then you have already lost the quality and just converting the avi file to a dv format will not bring back the quality allready lost. You will have to re capture the video as a dv.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-best-to-convert-avi-into-quicktime-dv-or-mov#post-37381 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:20:56 +0000 waywardmuse 37381@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I just licensed some wildlife footage to an educational production company.  The footage was shot with a Canon ZR200 camcorder and captured via firewire into.avi.  They want the raw uncompressed footage so they can edit it themselves.  But they don't like .avi.  I am not willing to release the original tape and cannot duplicate it so they said Quicktime format on CD or DVD would do.  How do I do this in Premiere Elements 2 with as little compression as possible?  When I choose to export to Quicktime, the multiple codecs to choose from under the advance tab and all the possible setting variables confuse me.  Someone said I would need to download Quicktime Pro to do this properly.  Is this true?  Why wouldn't a free shareware converter like Apex work just as well?   What is the best way to do this?   Can someone suggest an optimal setting in Premiere 2?  Computer is desktop Sony dual processor.  OS = Windows XP Media Center edition.  Thanks, Judy</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-mod-file-processing#post-33667 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:10:15 +0000 Chilly-B 33667@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just got an everio 155 from my wife for Christmas (a bit early).  I've noticed this .MOD and wondered what it was.  Any way, if you are using iMovie on a MAC, just create a new project in iMovie and import your clips as you normally would.  Then save the project and quit iMovie.  Now go to the iMovie file and right click or control+click.  This will bring up a menu that you could select "Show Package Contents."  When you show the package contents, you will get a folder called "Media".  Open this folder and you will find .dv files that can be opened in QT.  In theroy, you should be able to copy the media folder to your desktop or wherever, and be able to edit the .dv files.  The only problem I've noticed so far is that these are uncompressed files, so they could be rather big.  Besides that every thing seems to work just fine.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-mod-file-processing#post-33639 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:08:55 +0000 videofool 33639@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This problem is slowly being cracked. I have valuable stuff that I can process but as you can see from the forums it's no easy task.</p> <p>JVC .MOD files straight from JVC Everio are changed by well known file extension trick and as pointed out these do not have all necessary file atributes to be further processed especially by Premiere but they do for Flash 8 Pro. and .flv files are straightforward to make from converted .MOD to .mpg files.</p> <p>To edit the trick is to import the .mpg files into Premiere6 &amp; 6+ but NOT TO PLAY THEM then drag to Time line and Export Timeline as Quicktime format and fully editable .mov files can be re-imported for any editing process you need.</p> <p>When I am fully satisfied and have documented procedure I'll post it If any one is interesed</p>
