DV ALWAYS has the same data rate, and our tests indicate that one DV file plays back as<br />
well as any other, so it is much more predictable than PhotoJPEG.<br />
Other QuickTime codecs can be recommended in specific applications<br />
CODEC Recommended Use Pro Cons<br />
DV-PAL PAL TV bound<br />
footage or anything<br />
that requires a<br />
720x576, 25 fps<br />
movie.<br />
DV/DVCPRO<br />
-NTSC<br />
DVCPRO50-<br />

JPEG B:<br />
NTSC TV bound<br />
footage or anything<br />
that requires a<br />
720x480, 29.97 fps<br />
movie<br />
Plays back very well,<br />
even multiple movies<br />
simultaneously.<br />
Same as DV-PAL Same as DV-PAL<br />
Better color sampling<br />
(4:2:2 rather than 4:1:1)<br />
Twice the data rate for<br />
better images<br />
Same as DVCPRO50-<br />
NTSC<br />
Playback is acceptable<br />
Only option other than<br />
DV that can handle<br />
fields (interlaced<br />
material) when properly<br />
configured.<br />
Can use arbitrary frame<br />
sizes and frame rates.<br />
Photo JPEG Single layer playback Adequate between 50<br />
and 80% quality<br />
Heavy compression, doesn't handle<br />
strongly saturated colors well<br />
Heavy color downsampling (strong<br />
reds look bad, for instance).<br />
It cannot be used with any other<br />
pixel size and frame rate.<br />
Worse playback than DV-NTSC and<br />
PhotoJPEG.<br />
It cannot be used with any other<br />
pixel size and frame rate.<br />
Same as DVCPRO50-NTSC<br />
