Guys hoping someone can help me out with this, I’ve been trying to work it out for weeks. I’ve read numerous sites but I never seem to find the difinitive answer, or at least one that gives me a great result.
I’ve got a WD TV Live that I want to play my home video footage on. I capture the footage from a Sony camera in DV format and edit it in Pinnacle Studio. I know the LIVE doesn’t play DV files (although this would make life so much easier) so what format should I be saving the edited file in. Its really the specifics that I’m getting stuck on. I’ve tried MPEG2 and DiVX but the quality on my TV is nowhere near the quality of the original AVI(DV) file. The TV is a relatively new Samsung LCD HD.
Here is the info of the original captured file:
