Quicktime 7.6.6 for mac tv#

Both DV and MPEG-2 files a based on a 'so-called' rectangular pixel aspect ratio.

Is that the resolution I should be using for converting the >Dv file to m4v for Apple TV. When I convert the VIDEO_TS files with Steamclip to DV, it creates the file as 720x480. And even then, I normally prefer AIC/AIFF (Apple Intermediate Codec) video conversions for this purpose. Converting to DV is only required if you plan to re-edit the content. In this latter case, you can keep the DVD and/or a copy of the VIDEO_TS folder as your 'archival' copy and since conversions to MPEG-4 or H.264 do not require the MPEG-2 Playback component, you save $20 since HandBrake is free. As to conversion directly from VOB files or VIDEO_TS folder, third party apps like MPEG Streamclip (+ Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component) or HandBrake (does not require the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component) will work just fine. While this video media is not QT edit compatible, it is playback compatible with most QT players like QT, iTunes, or Front Row and is also QT conversion compatible - but only if you have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed.

My eventual goal is to keep one version in DV just for archival purposes, one version in mpeg 4 for direct play to my HD TV via USB port and one version for Apple TV.īest video quality would be achieved by simply demultiplexing the MPEG-2 content to an M2V file paired with an AAIF elementary stream file. (iMovie normal imports as DV(25) while FCE/FCP normally imports as DVCPRO for editing purposes.)

DVCPRO25 and 50 are DV/Linear PCM formats used by certain other camcorders. DV(25) is the standard DV/DV format used by most common camcorders. So would that be DV(25).Īny conversion can lower the quality. All I want to do is extract the video off the DVD and convert to DV at at least the same quality that was burned to DVD.
