Stephen,
Will these DV files coming right off the camcorder play in a Rev
player object without being converted first?
Thanks.
Richard

The standard output from most decent camcorders is the DV format.
Final Cut works native in that format. The formats that non-DV
cameras output for the most part are of lesser quality. For
instance, the DVD cameras use DVD style encodeing so they can be
directly played on a DVD playere, however even though it is
digital, it is nowhere the quality of DV.
I'd standardize on DV --- Quicktime Pro also handles it natively.
I am working on a Rev project which manipulates video from a
digital camcorder. I am testing with one brand of camcorder, but
would like to know if my assumptions hold true for most modern
digital camcorders.
1. Do most store their video in .avi format or is some other
format more prevalent?
2. When the typical camcorder is attached to a computer, is there
any fairly standard way Rev can access the video files on it
automatically through scripting without requiring the user to
identify the camcorder (presumably by specifying its volume or
perhaps using the answer file command)? For example, can I use the
registry to quickly identify most camcorders without knowing the
brand in advance?
3. Is most of the video on the camcorder already well compressed?
If so, is there a standard codec being used these days?
Any help with these questions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard Miller
