Erich,
I hate to bug you again, but I'm severely frustrated. I've tried about
8 different encoder programs. Most work to some degree. I've decided
that Cinelerra (the version I have) is still is piece of garbage that
works sporadically if at all. I haven't yet figured out how to get
Cinelerra-CV on the old (2005) distro I'm using, and I don't have time
to attempt an upgrade at the moment. And I'm puzzled by KDEnlive, which
seems to want yet another format. So I still have hope for Kino. But I
don't know how to produce a proper DV file. Can DV files be in
different container formats, such as MOV and AVI? If so, I can't figure
out which coded to use. Wikipedia says DV uses DCT encoding, but the
names of codecs seem to bear little if any resemblance to the names of
the format? If you know what codecs (audio and video) I should use, I'd
be eternally grateful. If not, I'll quit bugging you. Thanks again!
