mac dv to dv avi?

[smok3]

how? (is it possible to just repack streams somehow?)

I assume you mean to transmux a QuickTime MOV containing DV and uncompressed PCM to AVI?

It should be possible... What exactly is your objective? If you just want to get the MOV into AviSynth, then QTSource is a great plugin.

If you are working with an NLE (Avid, Premiere etc), then MOVs usually work directly with them.

If you just need it in an AVI for some other reason, then I'm not entirely sure how to do it. Maybe QuickTime (Pro?) can remux, or at least output elementary streams that could be remuxed with AviMux GUI or something :)

Good luck

well the story goes like:

1. i got some *.dv files
2. figured out that they are bad quality
3. assumed that maybe qt decoder is to blame
4. then i forced the provider to confes that this are actually dvd to dv transcodes....
5. took the dvd and decode it to uncompressed ;)

tnx anyway.

just for curiosity, either ffmpeg, mencoder or mp4box could probably do this.

though i haven't tried it myself :)

also, mp4box can be used to demux elementary streams from mov files - i use it for HDV quite a lot.

reeeally.. that's quite handy. A buddy of mine is insistent on using Lumiere to pack his HDV M2Ts (from a firestore or tape) into MOV, so that FCP likes them. I was never able to find a way to reverse the process, so that I can get them into AviSynth through DGIndex.

Very nice to know.
