    Capturing video queston

    When capturing a miniDV to your computer with Win Movie Maker or Premiere, did the video sucessfully capture in 100% quality if there are no dropped frames? Or are there other aspects involved. My computer is rather slow but I never get any dropped frames so that's why I ask.

    Windows Movie Maker probably compresses captured footage, not sure about Premiere. I know that iMovie (Mac) compresses captured footage while Final Cut Pro does not.

      For premiere is depends.

      Are you talking about 'capturing' from the miniDV? The first import is uncompressed. You later compress it to MS AVI, DivX, Xvid or whatever codec you import/want.

      So after you compress/render it with say... divx... then it's compressed for the web. Not just raw DV AVI.

        mkx, if there are no dropouts, the capturing is essentially a transfer of the digital information on the tape, and the quality will be exactly the same across any capture application.

            If I remember correctly.... Windows Movie Maker can capture video from the camera and compress it on the fly... so it is now always a full DV capture... check your settings to make sure you are capturing in DV (avi)

            Good luck.
