I always used .dv. What's the advantage of mjpeg ? Please ...

The truth is that I don't understand why people are so uptight about
having their original footage going directly into Cinelerra. I mean,
it's nice that Cinelerra supports several video formats, but somehow
I'm only really calm when I feed it with MJPEGs. Meaning, take the
original video, convert it to MJPEG using ffmpeg or mencoder and then
use that file with Cinelerra.
One of the huge problems with all video cameras is that even though
they claim supporting some video format, they are very likely to
produce a non compliant video stream as a result of some software
and/or hardware bugs. Or just because nobody cares. Since players are
keen on playing the video smoothly despite those errors in the stream,
these problems go away unnoticed, or maybe with some minor artifacts,
which most of us don't care about when watching the video for the
interest of its content.
So what happens is that you get these artifacts in your rendered video
all of the sudden. And then what?
Solution: Convert to MJPEG first, and check the converted video. Since
MJPEG is such a simple format, it's very unlikely that something a
video player showed correctly will break in Cinelerra. If it's OK, go
ahead editing it. If not, look for another video transcoder. It's that
simple. It's the long way to getting the work done quickly.
So my suggesting is: Just buy the camera that fits your needs.
