What video codec of today is most closest to DV????

Moe,

It is possible to use Nero Recode to encode AVI files. Just launch Nero Recode and choose the "Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital" option. That's how I encoded all the MPEG-4 videos on my web site. I have had a few DV AVIs that have exhibited a slight audio sync problem once encoded to MPEG-4 that I was never able to resolve, though. Also, the files won't stream from a web site. That aside, however, the quality is far above what can be achieved with the QuickTime MPEG-4 codec, and like you said, it's amazingly fast.

Thanks for that info, I thought that Recode didn't handle AVI's, that's good news. Darn though, more testing!

Funny you mention the audio sync problems, a friend was having sync problems on his PC when they tried playing back some Nero Digital test files I'd created, although on my PC I had perfect sync.
