Hi All
I got a lot on Mini DV clips.
I have made a copy of these clips as back ups.
I would now like to convert these clips to a formate such as MP4, so that tablets,PC and mediaboxes(connected to TV) can read this files with easy.
I don't expect 100% loss less quailty or even to use these file for editing in the future. All I need is it to be friendly with various device and players. So that when I place them on a home network they are easily accessible.
What is the best format and any particular setting I must keep in mind?
For example bitrate?
I am using adobe encoder.
Thank You
Regards
DJ

It depends on the devices involved. Check the file types/specs of all the devices to see what is supported. Pick something they all have in common, and then experiment to see what works. PC's or PC related hardware should have no problems with any format. The limitations will be with the "media playback" devices.
Which tool(s) used will depend upon the source file type.Google is your Friend -
Most important is to de-interlace the MiniDV video.
These are settings I use for DVDx 4.1 transcoder for MP4 (mp4.ini):
[profile]

title=MP4 (MPEG-4/QuickTime)

tip=Standard MPEG-4

[format]

And you can learn transcoding from this tutorial: http://www.labdv.com/dvdx/4.1/docs/recode-dvd-or-bluray-rip.php
And about MP4 format from this one: http://www.labdv.com/dvdx/4.1/docs/create-mp4-movie-with-subtitles.php
Sure it will helpLast edited by Starbuck2010; 13th Jan 2014 at 11:28. Reason: Added H.264 recommended settings

give a try to this one, download, unzip, DRAG & DROP your DV file to get progressive mp4 or interlace MP4 or DVD, read that read.txt, you need Avisynth to have installed (just installed you do not need to know anything) and maybe DV codec (there is link included) if you need it
