of your project.

Output Requirements
Keep in mind the following requirements for full-resolution DV output:
 Media files captured with a DV capture preset
 Sequence settings that match your DV capture settings

control data
You can also output video and audio to VHS by outputting to a tape format compatible
with your sequence and then making a copy to a VHS tape.
