Panasonic dv codec uninstall

Hopefully thius by-passes the question of how to uninstall the Panasonic thing, as Cedocida should replace it I gather.

But I'm curious to know how I would do that anyway? No, it won't replace it, the Panasonic will still be there. The Merit of a codec determines whether it is the preferred codec or not. I would go ahead and remove the Panasonic one. OK, thanks, but that takes me back to my original question: how?

Probably you want to de-noise, de-interlace to 50p, de-shake, upscale and perhaps even expand to The longer you wait, the better the software for this will get.

E ncoding DV to other formats. You either need to use an interlaced compression format or to deinterlace. I would recommend to use interlaced if you burn DVD or SVCD for playback on stand alone players and TVs, and to deinterlace if the target machine for viewing is only a PC many PC players have deinterlacing ability, so interlaced encoding can also be used.

Important: set offset line to 1 for DV sources, no matter if you're encoding directly from the file or over a frameserver!

If you want to keep the maximum quality with camcorder footage, be aware that this footage has lots of motion and is quite noisy. So you NEED to filter it, and as even a simple clear blue sky has some noise even on a digital camcorder with a big chip, you always want to rub VirtualDub and its temporal smoother. More on the filter page. You may also want to use Deshaker, even if the cam had a stabilizer, as most of these stabilizers aren't that good. The third big issue is the gamma curve of these amateur cameras that makes a sunny day look like a moonshine or thunderstorm scene.

Use VirtualDub's levels filter on that. Don't even hope that an expensive pro editing software will give you these abilities that VirtualDub has. These systems can do any kind of effects ,but hardly any decent cleaning! So you should filter it first, even if you want to encode just for archiving. The rest of it is simple: Rum CCE Basic the affordable version of the encoder just at the maximum constant bit rate, i. Any attempt to improve things by doing VBR variable bit rate or multi pass encodings will not be any better here, as the encoder doesn't know that you never need that noise or those millions of leaves in that wood exactly reproduced ant that for a human being, the face of a person is a hundred times more critical.

So don't let the encoder waste bits to noisy parts of the footage and with amateur camcorder footage there will most likely be some of these even after the cleaning , what would happen with a VBR encoding. Well, you can, but many of these require twice the bit rate for the same quality. So if you don't spend the money for pretty professional editing applications, you may be way better off with using CCE, or some of the really competitive products like Canopus or MainConcept, separately.

More details in the MPEG2 section. The 'field order problem' will most probably not occur with stand alone players, so selecting the correct field order will be all that's necessary.

It's not that apparent if you deinterlace anyway, but the swapping provides for a little better quality. Smart Smoother is quite slow but very good. It doesn't reduce crispness. The noise reduction allows for the MPEG encoding at lower bitrates and also helps the deinterlacer. This reflects only my personal opinion. Be aware that some people tried to sell the SE for almost the price of the full version. Don't fall victim to that especially in the US, there are numerous software cheaters online.

The fair price is a fraction of the full version. All Studio9 versions e. Main restrictions of SE are that it does no motion menus and lacks some fun filters but not the cleaning filters. A lot of info about Studio can be found at the Pinnacle Webboard section: consumer webboard , and also on Mike Shaw's pages.

Meanwhile there's Studio12 but as times do change, I'm more fond of the latest Magix software meanwhile and recently added a new page on it. But nevertheless Studio pioneered intuitive video editing intefaces. So the following may still be interesting. The user interface of Pinnacle Studio is the most intuitive I know: Studio can recognize scenes on the fly because of the time stamp information in DV data.

It assembles a storybook where each scene is represented by one thumbnail image. Then you simply drag these to the timeline as you want, trim them separately, insert transitions and play the result back to tape.

The advantage is that this 'timeline' is not continuous like in other programs where you get lost trying to find seconds long scenes in hours of footage. You get a linear display of each scene by double clicking on the thumbnail image and then you can trim just this scene. Scenes can also be repeatedly used, single frames can be used and displayed for any desired length, audio can be dubbed and mixed in etc.

It's not as powerful as Premiere or Media Studio, but much more easy for beginners and in my opinion, also much more easy and useful than the Video Studio that comes bundled with most cheap cards.

Meanwhile, Studio9 has been released which offers more filters and effects and therefore can better compete with 'semi-professional' programs like Premiere or Media Studio.

What is pretty crappy, that even Studio9 still is stuck with a half format preview screen. So one cant't tell if the footage is really crisp. Most peculiar, if one uses huffyuv instead of DV, the preview IS full res however ultra slow for no reason at all.

There is no file size limit if you use Windows If Studio would be equipped with a frame server to directly interface with other programs, there'd be no wishes left Older versions of Studio were not very good at avoiding recompressions when saving edited material.

It would be ideal if it wouldn't decide by itself if the input is DVD compliant or not. Sometimes it recompresses MPEG2 for no reason at all and it never tells you what it is going to do. Given the limited abilities of other editing softwares in this area however, this isn't too bad. Under Windows98SE, you can only capture 18 minutes in one piece. That applies for all cards except the Canopus EZDV , which supports multiple files and even works with Windows95, but costs so much more that you could easily buy Windows for the difference very much recommended anyway , or you get ScenalyzerLive , which is much cheaper and offers capturing tricks that blow your hat off, and is fully compatible with Studio.

Studio can also do scene recognition with analog tape, by image analysis. I however recommend to get Scenalyzer Live for capturing, it is much better at this and many other tasks. A very good feature of it is to save back to tape with extra info, so you can store the entire editing project for later revisions. I have analyzed Studio's scene list. ScTrans can handle Scenalyzer output from multiple file scans.

However, ScenalyzerLive is much better than the older Scenalyzer freeware, so I submitted the author my. If you want to improve pictures with VirtualDub, using ScenalyzerLive's option to split scenes into separate files makes sense.

VirtualDub has better tools for image cosmetics than most of the sophisticated video editors, and it can also merge the files afterwards, using its 'add video segment' function.

Normally I run the entire DV file through VirtualDub for filtering several hints and tricks on my DVD page , but some processes like deshaking require to work on scenes separately.

Software codecs are used for display and rendering of DV files. StudioDV came with its own codec, which was decode-only and not even necessary for the StudioDV because from version 1. They can't use DirectShow codecs. So if you have a Pinnacle VfW codec on your system, leave it in place. The programs mentioned need it only to read. Under Windows98SE, an alternative could be the Adaptec codec. However this doesn't work under Windows What also doesn't work to open files compressed with it with StudioDV and then exporting to the camera.

SVD will open the files but you would have to save to an AVI file in DV format complete recompression , open this again and then you can send to the camera but sometimes even this process gets problems. Reason unknown. The trial version will read files without restrictions but watermarks them when it writes to files. One of the fastest and best codecs, recommended except for playback with Media Player. There at least older versions were slow and had a green shift.

If you recompress with MainConcept DV, be shure to uncheck the "fastest" option in the encoder settings! Otherwise you get crappy quality! A web search would probably find a compiled verson. Reportedly this codec is working well. Example script:. Of course, change the name of the source file and path to your own. Under Windows98, I could achieve perfect playback with Media Player even with the Adaptec codec installed.

Under Windows w.
