What are you attempting to do... archive them at a much lower bitrate or convert them for viewing on DVD players.
If you just want to archive I would suggest DVD compatible MPEG-2. Use TMPGenc and the DVD template since DV does no intra-frame compression you sould see a 5-10x compression on your files with almost no perceptible loss. Make sure to enable interlacing unless your DV is in progressive format. -
Thanks for the help, yeah, im trying to make the clips small enough to fit onto a VCD, so i want to convert it into a MPEG-1. I tried using TMPGENC, but it says that it doesnt support this type of DV file, i think i need a DV codec, any ideas where i can find one?? I appreciate the help, thanks again.

Hello Doughboy
Try a Google search for "pdvcodec.exe". The first page is in Japanese. Go to the bottom of the page to download. Run it and TMPEGnc will be happy with DV stuff.
Hope this helps.

Try here. If it works, you want the panasonic one. But the page may have been taken down.
Hope is the trap the world sets for you every night when you go to sleep and the only reason you have to get up in the morning is the hope that this day, things will get better... But they never do, do they? -
Thanks for everyone's help, I really appreciate it. Megahurts, could you tell me exactly what i need to click on at that website to get to the download link of the specific file? Its all in Japenese so I have no clue what to click, I scrolled down to DOWNLOAD, but after clicking it, it led me to a page with a bunch of different downloads of different versions, which one am I supposed to select?? Thanks for help once again.
