DropDV creates projects that are recognized by iMovie. Double click the file named "imovie project" in "DV Project 1" to open iMovie. Your DV files will be displayed in the iMovie clips pane.
DropDV is a Cocoa application, not an AppleScript.
DropDV does not install any components or libraries onto your system.
To install, simply
copy DropDV to your hard drive. You can drop MPEG files onto DropDV's icon, either in
the Finder or in the Dock.
DropDV converts MPEG into DV of the highest possible quality, much better
than QuickTime Pro or even Final Cut Pro. DropDV uses a high quality
bicubic video scaling algorithm to give you a DV video image that is as sharp
as possible given the source material.
DropDV will accept MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 streams. DropDV will handle both MPEG
program streams and transport streams.
DropDV converts frame rates according
to the following rules:
Input MPEG Output DV 30 fps 29.97fps NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps (NTSC) 29.97fps NTSC 720x480 25 fps 25fps PAL 720x576
By default, DropDV places the DV Streams in a folder called "DV Project 1" (or some other number) on the Desktop. You can change where the projects
are created by setting the "Output Folder" preference from the DropDV menu.
