mpeg-1 & mpeg-2
 

which to use?

1

MPEG-2 is what DVD video is right? So when you rip a DVD it comes into your computer in MPEG-2 format? And the file size will be huge? Not as huge as an uncompressed AVI from a DV cam but still huge right?

So do you convert the MPEG-2 into MPEG-1?

Why not MPEG-2, file size considerations? Or something else that makes MPEG-1 the better choice.

yes, mpeg2 is dvd. too large for web use.

Thanks honey.
This is my first day ever that I play with my miniDV. So much to learn.
