Are there any plans to make the fast dv codec compatible with other applications? The fact that it only works with premiere can be a bit limiting. In my course I also use programs like After FX and Combustion and any video I capture at home has to be re-rendered so I can use it in these programs.This tends to be very time consuming.
thanks
George
THE FAST DV codec is compatible with applications that can use Quicktime. Files in the FAST codec will be detected as Quicktime files.

it is not true, all file import with .dif change to .mov are not detected as quicktime file. the same message is : " it's not a quicktime file"

The dif file in either its quicktime mov format or native dif format IS NOT RECOGNIZED by adobie after effects. Fast should check these things out before giving answers here.
You need to convert the file to another avi codec which will result in quality loss and which totally defeats the object of capturing in DV in the first place!!
The DV Now is a great card BUT unless Fast/Dazzle get their act together and write Plug-ins for the dif file to work with other software, this card will quickly die in the water.
I for one have already got rid of my Fast AV Master card because it does not even work with Microsofts latest operating system Windows 2000!!
Yes, the dif format is recognised by After Effects. We have tested it.
It works when using DV.now software version 1.5, After Effects 4.1 and Quicktime 3.0 (although it should also work with Quicktime 4 and soon Quicktime 5).
What you are probably doing wrong is changing the file extension to .mov. Just import the .dif file into After Effects without changing it and it will automatically detect it as a Quicktime file. Also, make sure you use version 1.5 of the DV.now software.

SORRY. I DO APOLOGISE! I was importing ALL FORMATS, instead of importing ALL FILES and so After FX couldnt see the dif file!!
EUREKA!
it's true you can import .dif file but how can we export a .dif file to keep the same quality ???

When you are happy with the finished work in After FX, you MAKE MOVIE and ensuring that the settings in the CUSTOM option have the correct sound and screen size,you render the file and it gets saved as COMP1 (composition number one). You quit After FX and load up Premiere. Import footage file...Comp1...place it on the time line and export movie, ensuring that the DV Now settings are selected...simple!
Thanks for your help Allan, much appreciated
George
not so easy, what are the compressor you chose.
the fast dv codec is not avaible ant the quiktime dv1 codec make the render verry bad.
thank you for your elpp
NO COMPRESSION CODEC.....Pick windows avi and FULL FRAMES UNCOMPRESSED....the files are huge , but once loaded into Premiere and outputted with the DIF codec they are a lot smaller.
the file is to big, 1 Go for 30 second. i prefere use boris red 1.5 or hollywood fx in the timeline of premiere.
i have read that premiere 6.0 is compatible with filter of after effect, it will be perhaps the solution
thanks a lot for yours support
