MovieStar 5’s versatility is especially useful because many people want to use a variety of formats. For example, if you capture DV from your digital camcorder, you might want to edit the video and then output the finished project to your camcorder in DV format. But you might also want to distribute your production on a DVD. In that case, you’ll need to convert it to high-quality MPEG-2, which is no problem for MovieStar 5.The DV, MPEG and Motion JPEG formats make it possible for you to do professional-quality video editing on a personal computer. DV (Digital Video) is used by digital camcorders.
MPEG (named after the Motion Picture Experts group that created the format) is used for
DVD, Video CD, Super Video CD and other popular methods of distributing video. MovieStar 5 supports the two most widely used flavors of MPEG: MPEG-1, which generally offers lower quality, and MPEG-2, which can offer very high quality. Motion JPEG is another popular type of video.
