does anyone know what software the networks use to edit video? Is it mpeg4 format or something beefier.Ill bet its high end on the budget scale.
Networks? if you are talking TV, they still use BetaMax. Best picture quality available. Outside of that I haven't really mixed it up with MPEG 4 yet. But the norm for quality seems to be MPEG II.
Oops didn't mention anything about the software. What is it you want to do? Are you editing something like making a movie yourself from VHS, DV etc. Or are you ripping and burning?
burning a dvd like the ones we copy,in HD. To make a pro style video from DV home camera. I guess beta is the key. I thought mpeg4 was VOB HD quality.
Ill be studying afterdawns glossary before asking anymore bonehead questions which is what I shouldve dont in the first place.Thanks
If you are looking to edit and create your own media by streaming VHS or DV to your HD. I would suggest a software such as Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus [Not 10 Plus; yet that is. It's still beta and the bugs are being worked out]. There are similar softwares such as Ulead Media Pro. DVDLab makes a fine software as well. These all incorporate professional style transistions and special effects. I've used Studio 9 Plus and earlier versions for about 3 years with outstanding results. Gives the family movies a whole new look having the ability to add titles, and scene special effects and overlays and such. I love it.
