Now we know that DV isn't the way to produce the best video but if I want anything better then th n ext rung up the ladder is a BIG step. Firstly I need a better camera and VCR either DigitBetacam or DVCPRO 50, neither of those comes cheap.
However if all I'm working with is stills and generated media then I don't need to worry about the camera part of the equation and as I'm only going to DVD I can see no reason why I shouldn't get as good a result as if I was encoding from uncompressed HD at 4:4:4.
Is this a pipedream?
Does Vegas sample / compress to DV25 and feed that into the encoder?
Is there a way to feed the mpeg encoder uncompressed video?
Sorry if I haven't put this very well, hopefully someone who knows the answer will figure out what I'm on about.
