Infoseite // Several video codecs? Which is the Best!

Frage von DoBBy:


Hi Slashcam Forum,
I use the time 2007-2008 MAGIX Video deluxe PLUS to cut and edit my videos, also the Panasonic GS230 camcorder. Since I am out again and my videos as AVI file on my hard drive, export, I noticed that these videos mostly a worse quality than when they are not exported. When I pointed at www.magix.net lookups in the forum, I came across the following article:

Ausgespielt DV videos have a significant loss of quality is often grainy and rasterized (block screening).
It is the quality of the original recordings brilliant!
How can I change the quality of my recordings get?
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
You most likely have an older non-compatible DV codec installed. It can only be compatible with codecs achieve optimal results.
The current best DV codec is included in DirectX 8a (WinXP DX 8.1).
Please uncheck all other DV codecs at:

Device Manager / Hardware / Device Manager / Audio - Video game controllers / Video Codecs / Properties (Win XP)

The codecs are probably all in the name of the letters "DV" or synonymous names like Pinnacle or FAST.

You are not required and only worsen the quality of your videos.

Please provide your drivers with the Grafikarte "small fonts"
an AND Resolution1024 use the * 768 at a depth of
32 bits.

But I do that again and synonymous times playing a game, it would not be as good, if I would install DirectX 8, because most new games at least DirectX 9.0 or higher (9.0c) is required. Let me just of you know what your opinion is the best free (!!!) DV codec would. If it really (as described in MAGIX) of DirectX 8a that I would be even ready to sacrifice my game, because I much prefer the video editing turn. I know it is synonymous many DV codecs that are synonymous what cost - for example this one: --

but the moment I would be now with the best of the free position. If I is still synonymous for such things as DV codecs must spend money, then I no longer synonymous. Should say that I use for my camcorder and my editing program of MAGIX has already been a lot of money was spent ...

I hope you can send me some help, look forward to on your advice.

So how exportierst you do your recordings on the tape to pc?
really should be at the capture (the so-called) via firewire
your data in standard Microsoft DV codec available and a sufficiently good quality.

Yes, they are synonymous. The editing program is the quality as well as by the camcorder. Only if I get in my editing program a sequence, eg the first 10 seconds and I just want to export these 10 seconds, then the quality is not as good as before, still in the editing program. That's what I really meant ...



Antwort von DoBBy:

I would just like to know what DV codec at the moment is the best. Is there any better than the standard Microsoft DV codec? As I said, MAGIX that (above) is apparently the DirectX 8a contained DV codec s.Besten and the other should be all clear.



Antwort von DocMAX:

manifests itself as loss of quality of exported 10sec
if you importierst again and compare with the original?
what say the clipeigenschaften?
usually because there is no difference.

> I would just like to know what DV codec at the moment is the best.

there are really only 2:

1. Canopus DV Codec
2. MainConzept DV codec
(or vice versa, depends on the way to)

Both have been used for some time no longer next developed
because they have reached the final stage.

However ...
The BEST there is not time now for free (;-))

What you in your editing program is still editing in DV format, this is the compression to 1:5 uncompressed material. Which codec do you use because when you export? You are aware that when you export a further compression takes place (except when set to "uncompressed")?



Antwort von DocMAX:

I assume that you like is to export (return to the DV format)?
Has anyone but an idea whether you have a better codec (such as the Canopus) during capture operation (eg in PPro) select?



Antwort von hannes:

> Has anyone an idea but if you have a better codec (such as the Canopus) during capture operation (eg in PPro) select?

When capturing the data via FireWire 1:1 copied to disk.
A codec only comes into play when visors, or similar titles may be used.
Then re-render!

For quality: what should the Fragerei?
There is currently no better than the above.

Yes, this is synonymous to me deliberately. Here you have the finger placed on the wound. If I had a sequence in AVI format, then I go into my editing program (MAGIX) between Zig Codecs menu. By default, Indeo Video set 5:10, but I can choose between dozens of others. Hence my question: Which codec is suitable for exporting s.Besten into AVI format. Perhaps DivX? or Indeo? Or what do I know what it is all still there. Or should I now get of the two:

Canopus DV Codec
MainConzept DV codec

Mainly it costs nothing, it will stop (as I mentioned at the top) of the best, you can get for free. ;-)

That would be me, however, synonymous interested.
I hope you can follow my problem may be that I have somewhat clumsily expressed.
Thanks for all the answers so far



Antwort von DoBBy:

@ Hannes: Sorry! Until I am with my half-finished novel was, I did not notice that you actually answered my question already searched. Only now to make it clear again: I should uninstall all video codecs to the 2 of you mentioned?
This seems logical to me that now, because when the 2 would be best that you can get free, I would have been satisfied. More wanted to I do not xD

schöne Grüße



Antwort von DocMAX:

But there are other useful codecs synonymous (not just DV codec), a quality look as H264, DivX, MPEG2. But you asked so only after DV codec ..?

So: If I put my video into AVI format export, you can no DV codec used, or? Because AVI is not a DV. So I'm looking to export to AVI format, the best codec you can get FREE.
Now I can but in my Schnittprogi not only choose the AVI format to export, but I can then synonymous to the so-called DV format. There, I can no longer select the codec with what needs to be done (for the AVI export nor could I). So I would like synonymous for export to DV format, the best codec you can get FREE. If this is the standard Microsoft DV codec already, then good. Which ists for AVI exports?

Thank you for your efforts :-)



Antwort von DocMAX:

@ Klaus Zimmer:
hmm, that's not as if I am with the dv-storm capture,
I can premiere at the codec set so zb. Canopus
with the data on the hard disk be saved.

@ Dobby:
I think your problem is because when you export a
codec using the dv material newly converted.
if you export the settings in the DV codec
gecapturten of your data has left the quality received.
Just watch the clipeigenschaften.

Antwort von DoBBy:

I can post screenshots here synonymous? Then I show you the times of using screenshots. Perhaps you can explain the more than me xD



Antwort von DoBBy:

Sorry, was not previously registered



Antwort von Waran:

examined. your first settings create a microsoft dv
avi what quality is as good as the dv avi before.
ie it has s.der quality of the starting material
in this export nothing changed.

Antwort von hannes:

> So again my question: What kind of (r) FREE codec (s) is suitable to s.besten into AVI format to export? What kind (s) is (are) s.Besten?

"MickySoft Video 1", which is on each calculator.
Should be enough until you get into the matter correctly and you know what it takes.

Thank you, wanted more I do not know. If you now link in my post previously anschaust (Avi-export), then yes, you'll see (I hope at least) that I still exist between many more codecs have Choice. Should I now delete all and only the Microsoft Video 1 codec reserve, since the so you think is best?



Antwort von AndyZZ:

You can leave all the codecs where they are. Make your content easy export to Microsoft DV, then adjusts das



Antwort von Bruno Peter:

Take a look a test with any codec. What do you like s.besten?



Antwort von DoBBy:

Ok. Thank you, that you've helped me all, synonymous when it seems that I have some here have robbed all the nerves (@ hannes? XD). Sorry, but beginners are there to learn and what I have now synonymous (I hope).

Thanks for your tips
