Can I export as ".dv" within PPro CS3?

   Hi,

   I am working with a client who broadcasts footage in .dv format... Apparently this is what their playout system works with.

   At the moment, due to file transfer time deadlines and size limits, I am sending my files as mpeg... avi takes ages to send thru FTP.

   The files are 15-20 minute long and for actual TV broadcast...

   However, they then need to convert it into their .dv format to be able to play it out...

   Now:

   1- I know I'm losing quality when I export as mpeg, but is there any further loss when they convert into .dv?

   2- Does Premiere Pro CS3 support .dv? Is there any way that I can export the project as a .dv file within Premiere Pro to avoid any further quality loss?

   3- Also, any other suggestions to export the footage with a better qualkity is more than welcome.

   Here are the export settings I use for Adobe Media Encoder:

   FORMAT: MPEG2
   TV STANDARD: PAL
   FRAME SIZE: 720x576
   FRAME RATE: 25
   FIELD ORDER: NON PROGRESSIVE
   PIXEL ASPECT RATIO: 16:9 (1.422)
   PROFILE: MAIN
   LEVEL: MAIN
   BITRATE ENCODING: CBR 8Mbps
   GOP SETTINGS: M FRAMES 3 - N FRAMES 12

   Thanks for all the thoughts...

   Regards

   Instead of going to Export>Media Encoder, go to Export>Movie, select DV AVI and check the properties from there.

    I am not sure that broadcast .DV format and DV-AVI are the same thing.

   .DV in some cases refers to a variation of the Apple .MOV format, really need to get some specs from the client.
