Hello.
I have a really very simple question that seems even too easy for this professional forum ...
I take (with a camera or camcorder ...?) relatively frequent events in the family) to (such as weddings, which I prefer then via DV cable to my hard drive. This I do with Windows Movie Maker () pretty easy. Then I cut possibly unimportant points from the video and save it in DV-avi format. After several ceremonies they come on DVDs.
The problem, quite simply, is that the DV-avi format awful lot occupies space.
Which format is suitable for private for-DVD nor sufficient to guarantee quality
without all the clutter my hard drive?
Thank you very much,
Toni

If you already own the feeling that your shots are garbage
s.meisten you save space, if you can stay in one piece :-)
For a DVD, the film available in mpeg2 format. That is, Avi is either converted, or of your editing program of your Authoringprogamm into the necessary format (mpeg2).
DV-AVI takes about 13GB per hour. In mpeg2 sinds then etwa2-4 Gb depending on quality.
Antwort von Stefan:
You can save space, if you after cutting to the DV-AVI intermediate step, abandonment or other triggers.
One possibility is of a suitable editing program out of the movie encode directly to MPEG2. So I'll do it.
Another possibility is that the DV-AVI to play back the DV Camera (DV-IN condition exists) to the DV camera raw files on the disk clean, the cut DV movie to get back on a record. But seriously: If I had to work so that I would immediately treat me more hard drive ;-)
Good luck

Antwort von toni:
Is there an appropriate program (preferably free, I do not need great features) are there to save me the Avi-interim step?
Thank you very much.

Antwort von Stefan:
What program are you doing the conversion from the DV-AVI format in MPEG2 format for video DVDs? Or you will save as the DV-AVI files without converting them to (data) DVDs?
Good luck
