I got a video with the following properties:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 704x384 25.00fps [English (Video 1)]
Audio: MPEG Audio 48000Hz stereo [Undetermined (Audio 1)]
File format: VLC media file (.mkv)
Is it lossy or shall it be lossy if I make a dvd about this footage? Thanks!

Re: Question about a video file
Hi, what exactly are you wanting to know?.. the (H.264) is a compression codec that means the original video file was already altered unless this is a digital camera video file?..
MPEG4 = .MOV or usually Quicktime usually the .mkv containers are for High Definition file containment.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask them. : )

Re: Question about a video file
I'm agreeing with cj on this one. I've primarily seen MPEG4 files that are meant for ipods. Although, with the characteristics you have given, I don't honestly think it would be that lossy - because by default video is 720x480.

Re: Question about a video file
First of thanks for the answers. Since I asked this I realized there's a better quality source of the video, so you can close this thread. I explain why I asked anyway.
I downloaded a video file and was wondering that it's suitable to make a dvd from it or not. In that case if it was lossy then I would've not seen any sense to put into dvd format, you know.
