Exporting a DV Stream
A DV Stream file is just like the DV video and audio data recorded on DV tape. This file
format is used with applications such as iMovie. DV Stream files are not the same as
QuickTime movie files with separate, extensible tracks. Use the DV Stream option to
make iMovie-compatible DV Stream files.
To export a DV Stream file:
1
Select a clip or sequence in the Browser, or open a sequence in the Timeline.
2
Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
3
Choose a location and enter a name for the file.
4
Choose DV Stream from the Format pop-up menu.
5
Choose a setting from the Use pop-up menu, based on the video standard and audio
sample rate of the selected clip or sequence.
