Edit DV-AVI files lossless
Hi there!
I converted my old Video 8 cassettes into DV-AVI files with the final purpose to put everything on DVD (and keep the DV-AVI files for future High Definition disc) I came out with more than 600 GB, which is what I expected. I have some minor editing to do to the DV-AVI files, like cutting, trimming etc. and I want to do it directly on the DV-AVI file in a lossless way. What is the best and simple tool I can use to work them out without re-encoding? Thank you Alex

Look for a DV video editing program that does Smart Rendering. Smart Render will only re-encode transitions or added special effects sections, it will not re-encode trims or video with no special effects added.
I like Ulead MediaStudio Pro. It is expensive, but I there is a trial version. I found the SE version cheaper bundled with a firewire card. The lower cost Ulead VideoStudio also has Smart Rendering. http://www.ulead.com If your DV is type2, I believe you could use VirtualDub (free) in Direct Stream Copy mode. Someone also posted a free DV Trim program in the DV forum section. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89064 |

I used Windows Video Movie to capture and if I well remember it is DV-Type 1. However, I will give a try to the Solveig freeware application, it might me enough for my purposes. Thank you Alex

I had a bunch of Type 1 DV files that I was able to open up in virtualdub without any issues. Doing a direct stream copy converts them to Type 2. (That is how I've been editing.) This should be a lossless and safe process, right?
