Which is extremely irritating every time you move them in the timeline.

DV ftw on mac.

DV is lossy though, amirite?

The quality loss is minimal in DV, though. As long as you're not going through too many generations of conversions, the quality loss shouldn't be too noticeable. (Bear minimum, DVD Rip > DV > Huffy/Uncompressed (for export from editor) > Final encode. Quality loss there shouldn't be all that significant.)

Though, now this is just getting nitpicky. It just depends on what's more important to you - final quality or ease of editing.

Exactly.

Unless you have the eyes of a super powered microscope, you won't really be able to tell the difference.

In fact, if you just use mpegstreamclip, you can bypass using virtualdub on a mac altogether.

Thank Kionon! You're awesome! This definitely helps 'cause I'm tired of doing all my editing in Windows+Parallels Desktop.

FCE4 has been crashing slightly frequently. Is this because of the huffys or something else?

As stated, I have never worked with FCE, just FCP, and now I mostly edit with Premiere, so I really don"t know. I'Ll do some research and get back to you.

I edited a school project with huffys in FCP6, I ran into the same issue and I couldnt get the finished video to compress with Compressor. I told my teacher and he said that the only thing FCP can edit with is MOV or else you will run into issues. Wait for what Kio has to say though.

I think the latest Perian is having issues with huffys in FCP; mine was crashing almost every time I tried to scrub across them. I might revert a version or just edit on my Windows box until the next version, but it's something to be aware of.

Happened with me too, I just searched for an older version of Perian and reinstalled.
