Thanks RF :)

Peggig, I guess that I might stick to whatever the final output format was going to be. I would also make that my master project preset as well. So if you are importing HDV from a HV40 and then going to export to H.264 I would do all of the sub project exports with the H.264 codec and make the master project the same. That way when you import all of the pieces they, and the project, are already in the final format. Hopefully that would mean no conversion.

If anyone else has a better or different method I'd love to hear about it :)

Thanks, Chuck. I use H.264 for export to post on YouTube because the files aren't as large as MPEG2, which is important for downloading over the Internet, but I was under the impression that the H.264 codec is lossier than the MPEG2 codec, which is why I"ve been using MPEG2 for my interim exports.

Is my reasoning on this faulty? Is there less loss if you reencode a file using the same codec with which it was originally encoded?

Either way the file will get encoded multiple times, HD MPEG files are less compressed but the H.264 compression is very good. You probably won't notice any difference if you only export each video 2 or 3 times. Uncompressed AVI is also an option but the files can be huge, like the Apple Animation codec.

I was only giving you another option because the MPEG exports have been giving you trouble.

AVI won't work for high definition, will it? If there was a way to do that, that would be my preference. I don't care how large the interim files are, I just want to preserve as much quality as possible.

Thank you again for all your help and great information. This forum is so much better than Adobe tech support ever was. I don't know what I'd do without you guys.

Thanks, :::muvipix:::

You should be able to use AVI and in the advanced settings change the resolution to match your export, 1280 x 720 or whatever you need. AVI is not restricted to 720 x 480 or less, but some of the codecs used to create the AVI file might be. I don't think that Uncompressed restricts the size of the video.

Good info .. I thought AVI was just for SD.
