The easiest way to see it is if you happen to have a shot of a RED ballon on a solid background. The big difference is in the color bleed of red when converting anolouge footage with a DV converter. I can tell you that DV is faster to render to MPEG, but it isn't that big of a difference when using Pic Video as your MJPEG decoder.

I use a DC30 Pro to capture (704x480 7100KB/s) to networked hard drives in 2gig chunks, and process those chunks on 1-6 PCs. Both of these are 2-3x faster than the hardware codec at decoding.

You can have the DC10 installed, and install a software decoder, like Pic Video, or Morgan Mulitmedia. The render time is from using the DC10 hardware codec to decode the stream. Not to mention the nightmare of editing such huge files. That's just way to much space and way, way to much render time for longer projects. One hour is over 20GB if I remember correctly. The problem with that is the out of control file size. I can capture hardware MJPEG with the DC10+ at 6000kbps with no problem, which would be like PICvideo at 30. So no good will come of limiting your capture set-up. You should not limit your MJPEG settings unless you MUST due to computer speed (in my case I can't use the best 20 setting and instead use the 19 quality setting).ДЄfter all you will be converting to DVD or whatever other format is your target (such as DivX etc.) so you will then be deleting the MJPEG capture file. You should set your capture settings to the highest level that you can in order to get the best quality capture that you can. PICVideo MJPEG be it hardware (like the DC10+) or the software codec EITHER WAY this is just an intermediate stage.

although due to the particulars of my capture card and driver I must capture at 688x480 then pad it up to 720x480 but that really doesn't affect quality in a negative way. So I don't know how this compares to the DC10+ДЄlso with a PCI type capture card (I have an Avermedia AverTV Stereo PCI capture card) I can capture more than 640x480. I would do 20 but I drop frames at 20 since my computer is a bit slow. I always use the next step down (quality setting 19). When using the software version of the PICVideo MJPEG codec you set the quality on a scale with 20 being best. compatibility with all manner of OHCI DV editing software Twice as fast encoding to MPEG using same settings in Procoder 2.01ДҐ. I cannot see the degradation of color in the ADVC's 4:1:1 DV capture or MPEG encoded from ADVC DV captureДў. It's greatest strengths are it's 4:2:2 color sampling and adjustable video and audio bitrates.ДЄfter careful consideration, I must declare the ADVC-100 the absolute winner for the following reasons:ДЎ. The DC10+'s drawback is the maximum capture resolution of 640x480 in NTSC mode. Neither capture method suffered from any dropped frames, noise, blockiness, or other major defects. I also compared bmp stills of the same frame from each source captured from the MPEG files.Д«ased on picture quality it is a very, very tight race.
