And a data rate of 3.6Mb/s.Originally Posted by samsc
The fixed compression rate of DV PAL/NTSC a pretty good option. However, it's YUV, has a colour sampling of 4:2:0 (for PAL) and 4:1:1 (for NTSC). It's also a fixed SD size - 720 x 576 for PAL and 720 x 480 for NTSC.
Photo-Jpeg colour is better than DV and it has variable compression settings. It's a great off-line format, and content created in this codec looks very good if it's at 100% quality. Check out the Digital Juice footage we give out with Catalyst. However, it's pretty CPU intensive to decode it and it has a variable data-rate - certain 'busy' frames can take more cpu effort than others. I've heard of people using this in Medium Quality setting - which I think looks shit...
Motion-Jpeg A medium quality works pretty well with Catalyst... It has similar issues to photo-jpeg in the variable data rate stakes.
