Kunga --

I guess my question would be: What's the point of saving a 
(compressed) DV file to this uncompressed format? You wouldn't gain 
any information back that the DV file didn't have in its compressed 
form.

Now if you could capture the original video right from the camera 
into the uncompressed format without going through the DV stage, you 
might have something. But of course then you are talking about huge 
amounts of data to contend with, and special high-priced equipment.
