Camcorder To Pinnacle Studio

Post by fey-metallica »

What would be best to, with a camcorder to the pc. I use Pinnacle Studio 9 and I can proces with DV qualty (.avi) and then compress to mpg or straight to mpg (topquality dvd). Sounds simple (mpg), but I ask to be sure. The size of the avi file is really big btw. Any help would be appreciated

I'm not sure if I understood the question. Camcorder to Pinaccle in Avi or Mpg? Doesn't it automatically go in AVI? If you transfer from DV with FireWire it goes automatically in uncompressed AVI. And that it's a big file. But the file is uncompressed. So definately uncompressed avi first and then you edit that file and compress to mpg.
