Thanks!
I will add this URL to my Raptor 10-generation
example on my web page (at tail end of camcorder reviews
, at: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder-comparison.htm ).
The QT 4.1 and MS DV 6.2.10.1 5th-generatiion rendering
examples looked pretty bad in this test, the DVSoft can
be corrected with a color shift, and the Raptor and
MainConcept (unfamiliar to me) are quite good
(essentially lossless...). No surprises but for the
little-known MainConcept (excellent) and the MS
(horrible)... Interesting that the two best codecs for
image quality are also among the fastest to render...
