Huge DV files when using QT Dv
Hi, maybe someone has already posted something about this...
We´re trying to use QT files on my PT session, playing video through firewire port. The issue here is the size of the video files after conversion. We use a pinnacle video card to capture video from a Digibeta, but the software we are using (Studio 9) does´nt allow to create dv or mov files, only avi or mpeg files. When I try to convert that avi file to qt dvntscpro, the dv file is huge! and the process is very slow. Is there any way to speed up this process? (we have 7 studios on our dubbing facility, everyone working with 2 or 3 project at the same time, so you do the math..LOL) Can I use QTime to capture video or only to reproduce and convert captured material? Maybe I´m a newcomer on this.... Thanks in advance Sebastian

Re: Huge DV files when using QT Dv
hi,
right, it DOES take a long time. QT does NOT capture video. Final Cut Pro does. OR, you cvould get an Aurora FUSE-X card ($500 USD) that has a Media Grabber and you can capture as DV and playback. veru LOW latency Or, get a canopus ADVC box ($300) and capture and playback with that. very HIGH latency and drift. but certainly workable.

Re: Huge DV files when using QT Dv
I think you need QTPro to access this menu item. If it has a QTPro badge beside the command you need to spend $30 to enable it.
Under the file menu is New Movie Recording, or New Audio Recording. In the preferences there is a Capture tab where you can select input and type of movie compression. You are limited to MPEG-4, H264 or Device Native (which is probably DV from a camera or Firewire convertor)

Re: Huge DV files when using QT Dv
I've updated to QT Pro, but I think it only lets me record audio, I can't find that 'new movie recording' option that you mentioned before.
QT Pro appereance is the same that QT Player right? I mean same user interface plus more options right? Sebastian
