Now, Even Better...

DropDV is a Mac OS X droplet which converts MPEG video into DV video streams. After conversion, your video can be edited with iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or any other DV video editing system.

DropDV converts MPEG video files from Still Cameras, MPEG-based video cameras, Tivo and ReplayTV MPEG files, as well as any other MPEG file you may have from other sources.

DropDV 2.0 has been totally rewritten from the ground up to give you the best possible conversion from MPEG video into DV format. DropDV 2.0 has a new look, faster processing, a slick Macintosh user experience and all of the great features of the original DropDV 1.0!

Features:

  • Multiprocessor enabled
  • Rock solid audio/video synchronization
  • A Simple, drag-and-drop interface
  • Creates projects compatible with iMovie
  • Uses high quality bicubic scaling for the best video image
  • Full YUV pipeline (no conversions to RGB)
  • Supports both NTSC and PAL output
  • Doesn't lose the audio track
  • Splits output DV files so they are less than 2Gb (optional)
  • Will convert VCD, (unencrypted) DVD and any other MPEG file into DV format
  • DropDV 2 also includes speedups, bug fixes, and many enhancements.
No other MPEG to DV solution offers all of these features, including QuickTime Pro or even Final Cut Pro.

You can download (250 Kb) a trial version for free. The trial version adds a watermark to the DV output streams. To produce DV that are not watermarked, you need to purchase a registration key.

A paid upgrade is available for users of DropDV 1. Visit the upgrade page for details.
