[MacDV] Re: Editing from DVD

[Thubten Kunga]

Yes, I know that. I was referring to is what is on the tape, which as 
you so rightly point out, is already very compressed. But do we ever 
have the 65 GB/hr in a form we can save like that Erica? Isn't that 
just theoretical while we are looking at it? Is there a way to save DV 
to the uncompressed format? And if so what is that format called and 
how do we do that?
