Configuring Digital Video AVI Properties
Movies made in this format can be exported to a Digital Video (DV) camera attached
to your PC.
- After adding files to the list, point to the Tools menu and click Settings.
- Under General Settings, from the Convert To Format box, select
DV AVI.
- Select the Properties tab or Properties button.
Type
Select the Digital Video AVI Type. Digital Media Converter supports both Type
I and Type II. Type I DV files are not backward compatible with older Video
for Windows (VFW) systems. Type II DV files cannot be created without an audio.
For this purpose, Digital Media Converter automatically inserts a blank audio when
the source file contains no audio.
Video Standard
Select NTSC or PAL depending on the standards supported by your Digital Video camera.
The DV AVI specifications for these standards are:
NTSC
Frame Rate: 30 frames/second.
Dimension: 720 x 480 pixels.
PAL
Frame Rate: 25 frames/second.
Dimension: 720 x 576 pixels.
Note
Digital Video AVI files are variants of uncompressed AVI files. Similar to
uncompressed AVI, Digital Video AVI does not use a compressor and can take up large
amount of disk space. When saving to Digital Video AVI, it is recommended
to also make a movie in AVI format using a video and audio compressor that produces
good quality output. This movie can be stored for future use. After
the DV AVI is exported to the camera, you may delete the DV AVI file.
