lossless mpg to DV?

[hotbody]

is there a way to convert mpg to dv?
and lossless

By this you mean to convert your MPG to DV without loosing quality... Well this is going to depend on the bitrate you use.... More Bitrate = Better quality, but more storage space needed...

DV is fixed bitrate -- there is not a lot of choice there ..


install the main concept or panasonic Dv codec

install virtualdubMOD

open mpeg in virtualdubMOD and save it out as a dv file

hit control C and pick the main concept Dv codec

hit F7 and save avi ..

it will be a dv file ...

i get an error
cannot start compression
the source image format is not acceptable
error code -2

then your source files are not standard DV format --- which must be 25 or 29.97 fps interlaced (or with pulldown) and standard DV format size ..

you will have to make some sort of adjustment .. also make sure you pick full proccessing mode

VirtualDubMod still not working dv codoec, i think mpg is 29.97 fps
i think im going to use flaskmpeg with huffyuv or picvideo mjpeg to converto avi
should i use 640 *480 resolution?
or 720 * 480
the orginal source is 704 * 480
and final will be 720 * 480

thanks
