Step II: Configuring Digital Video AVI Properties
Movies made in this format can be exported to a Digital Video (DV) camera attached to your PC. You can then use a DV export tool to directly export DV AVI files to your DV camera.
Type
Select the Digital Video AVI Type. Video Edit Magic Express supports both Type I and Type II. Type I DV files are not backward compatible with older Video for Windows (VFW) systems. Type II DV files cannot be created without an audio. For this reason, Video Edit Magic Express automatically inserts blank audio (silence) when the timeline contains no audio or audio track is not selected under 'Save Tracks' in Step I.
Video Standard
Select NTSC or PAL depending on the standards supported by your Digital Video camera. The DV AVI specifications for these standards are:
NTSC
Frame Rate: 30 frames/second
Dimension: 720 x 480 pixels
PAL
Frame Rate: 25 frames/second
Dimension: 720 x 576 pixels
Note
Digital Video AVI files are variants of uncompressed AVI files. Similar to uncompressed AVI, Digital Video AVI does not use a compressor and can take up large amount of disk space. While saving to Digital Video AVI, it is a good idea to also make a movie in AVI format using a video and an audio compressor that produces good quality output. This movie can be stored for future use. After the DV AVI is exported to the camera, you may delete the DV AVI file.
