MJPEG to MJPEG Recompression ?

If I use MJPEG video clips and save as MJPEG at the same size will the video be re compressed in Video Studio 10.

Thanks,
Bobby

With Smart Render, only the parts of the video that have been altered will be rendered.

If you choose to create a DVD, then that's a different story. The video would have to be rendered to a DVD compliant MPEG2.

That was quick, thanks.

I have digital still cameras that take pretty good video (good enough for my needs) that is stored as MJPEG. I want to trim the clips and assemble into short videos with no recompression and export them as MJPEGs at the same resolution, audio, etc.

I then convert to flash for display on my website or use the MJPEGs as input for larger videos that would be converted to MPEG2 for DVDs.

The key is I want to do basic clean up (really just cutting out bad parts of clips and combining short clips into one longer video with no loss of quality by not doing any recompression.

Sounds like Video Studio 10 will do this. I tried a quick clip with the trial version and that seems to be the result.

Thanks,
Bobby
