Appendix E. Tips and techniques
A. DV camcorder tips
• Format the DV tape before shooting video.
Formatting a DV tape is desirable for batch capture and for accurately
locating timecodes. Formatting here means to record a "blank" video from
start to end without interruption. This is what a professional cameraman will
do with a new DV tape. Once it is formatted, you can start shooting video.
Thus, when you play your video footage on the DV camcorder, the counter
(displayed as Timecode on the camcorder's LCD monitor or viewfinder) keeps
running even when there's no actual video.
• How to get the best video quality out of a DV camcorder.
Capturing video using the IEEE-1394 interface card provides loss-proof
quality. After editing your project, you can then render your final movie at
any file format of your choice.
If you don't have an IEEE-1394 card or a DV camcorder, the second choice is
to use an analog capture card. If you intend to record your finished project
back to the videotape, using an analog capture card with S-video output
yields better video quality.
B. Web video tips
• Use a smaller frame size for movie files intended for the Web.
A one-minute video clip, which is captured in its native DV AVI format from a
DV camcorder, takes about 200MB of disk space. If you have such a large-
size captured clip inserted in your project, it will also take much time to
render the project into a movie file. For files that you intend to send over the
Internet, it's better to use a smaller frame size (for example, 352 x 240)
when rendering.
