mac dv to pc - help!

[sonic buster]

let me first say hello to everybody, since this is my first post in this forum!

i run across a problem, that should not be one: i captured a short movie from a dv cam to my mac, and part of it has to be presented on a pc. the problem is, i just can't get any resonable file format/ compressor combination to rund on a standard pc (windows media player, W2K). the (almost) only thing that worked was converting to mpeg1... .

i tried various combinations of software/ settings, no result near to dv quality was working.

if anybody had to do this before (and was more successful than me please, please let me know the exact settings (pixel, framerate, compressor, file type etc etc).

i've been playing arround with astarte, media cleaner 3, adobe 6, final cut pro 2, iMovie2 for a couple of days now but the best software doesn't help if you have no concept of file formats.

most of the versions (even the .mov or .avi files) work on my mac, but not on any pc.

please help!

I never tried exporting/importing DV codec files between Mac and PC, but I have shared MJPEG files using MJPEG-A on the Mac and PicVideo MJPEG on PC. I'm pretty sure files created on either platform can be exported to the other using this method. I would stick with AVI format since MOV doesn't work well with TMPGEnc and other tools on PC.
