I want to join many dv movie files i have captured from Premiere, to make them all one dv file. How can this be done and is it lossless?
Can someone tell me how to make the export of the joined files cause i seem to be lost in Premiere CS5 settings!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

VirtualDub, lossless:
File -> Open Video File
File -> Append Avi Segment (as many times as necessary, sequentially numbered segments will auto append)
Video -> Direct Stream Copy
File -> Save as AVI -
Add the clips to a timeline that matches the frame rate and aspect ratio of the clips, and export them as DV. No reencoding necessary. This is how Premiere works.

How do i export them as DV thats what i can't figure out, what settings should i use?
-
You export as DV-PAL or DV-NTSC to match the frame rate, raster size and aspect ratio of your source. Your output will be un-reencoded DV avi files.

What options you have?
can you make screenshot of options? -
OK because its mac version
you can save as QuickTime DV
same quality but in QuickTime -
also select preset
-
I did the joining, but the outcoming file was a little sharper than the original. Is that right? Is it some setting i must tune so that it doesnt make it sharper without my consent?
-
What you select in Quicktime preset?
Can you post original and render sample jpg? -
In one screenshot you can see what options are selected. In the other pic, its a preview of the two qualities. In the numbers its clearly visible!
-
Try render 1 min test with Render at Maximum Depth selected
and see if it change anything -
You are probably previewing at less than full resolution when you are editing. You may be the first poster on this site to complain that your output is better than you hoped.

No, it's that silly Quicktime thing with DV where it sometimes defaults to viewing/saving at 1/2 quality. Always, always, always make sure that "Use Maximum Render Quality" is checked.
<RANT>It's 2014, why can't/won't Apple get Quicktime's SHIT TOGETHER!!!?? DAR/PAR aperture nonsense, Gamma shift nonsense, 16bit dithered to 8bit, no true end-to-end 64bit codecs/architecture, DV "quality" choices, chroma upsampling problems, problems with VBR audio, old apple-centric nomenclature, slow loads/renders, not-fully-cross-platform WRT features/codecs, no MPEG4-ASP, MKV?, codecs for AVI?.....It's no wonder some people hate it.</RANT>

If you converting for viewing purpose
better convert to H264 (MP4)
benefit is smaller size files and playable on other devices like TV, tablets, DVD players... -
That does NOT address the need the OP had:

But he's not "converting", he's "combining".
And for quality reasons, he should combine them as DV. Then, and only then, should he convert a copy to h264, etc. for portable viewing purposes.
