I have a project shot in DV that I need to archive in case I have to do a new edit of the program in a couple of years.
Each camera master is saved as basically a 1 hour avi file but that averages out to 13 GB per file. Too large to archive onto a single DVD. I could go to bluray but would prefer to stay on DVD if possible.
What type of file should I be encoding to in PP (CS6) to get the smallest size file, that I can edit later on in PP if necessary, but still retain the quality of the original camera master tape - so I never have to touch the camera tapes again?
