VDUB and DV

Post by shawndow » Sun Mar 09, 2008 11:41 pm

I read in the compression guide that if your not lookin to go Huff or Lag, then DV is the way to go. The only problem is i dont see any option for it in Vdub (under compression options)....can any one explain?

I use DV I think it doe'nt has a configuration I think that DV has better compression than huff and Lag both contains higher file size and the DV has a faster and has pretty much lower file compression , same quality than huff and lag.

DV has a number of technical limitations (frame size, frame rate, etc.) that Lag and Huffy don't, which is why we recommend those two over DV so often. In addition, contrary to popular belief, DV is not lossless. There's not a lot of loss, so the quality is still very high, but there is some.

If you really want to use DV in VirtualDub, you need to have a DV codec that works with VfW (Video for Windows, the precursor to DirectShow). The best one I've come across is the Panasonic DV Codec (Download Link).
