I have completed a video which includes AVI clips captured from my DV camcorder combined with transitions and overlayed text. I thought I was home free. Unfortunately when I render the AVI using the "DV NTSC" template the video loses quite a bit of quality and is particularly noticable on the text which comes out blocky.
If I render the a piece of the video to AVI uncompressed things look great but rendering a 60 minute video would result in a 100 gig file. I don't have that much space.
Can anyone comment on the quality of the DV NTSC codec in video factory 2.0c? Should I be getting better quality than I have described? I have already chosen "Best" render under the advanced tab.
I have un-installed every other video app I can think of thinking that there was another lesser quality codec on my machine taking over the render process but that seemed to have no effect. Is there a way to confirm the correct codec is actually being used?
Any help is very appreciated. I am very frustrated at this point.
