Out of curiosity, what do you need the Type-1 files over the Type-2 files (other than perhaps slightly smaller file sizes)? Can you put the Type-2 file on a clean VideoStudio timeline and output a Type-1 file?Jerry Jones wrote:I wish the Pinnacle Studio software could export Type 1 DV .avi files, but it only seems to support Type 2.
Is that with ALL DV .avi's, or the DV .avi's you encoded from the sd mpeg2 filesJerry Jones wrote:The user doesn't even have to concern him or herself with "fields."
The software handles them in the background automatically.
When DV .avi files are transcoded to DVD-quality MPEG-2, the resulting MPEG-2 files are "upper field first," according to the Corel software.
I'm trying to find out if DV .avi's that are transferred from dv camcorder to computer via firewire also get encoded to mpeg2 as UFF.Should make you wonder if you have any other false assumptions after all these years. I find myself learning new things all the time...Jerry Jones wrote:So -- all these years -- I've assumed one had to make sure the field order was consistent "lower field first" from DV-to-MPEG-2.
