Everyone's heard of the new 24P miniDV video cameras that achieve a real film-like appearance by sampling 24 video "frames" per second and then recording that to NTSC. But now you can achieve that look with any video camera, with DVFilm Maker.

Here's how: shoot regular interlaced video with any DV camera: including Canon, Sony, JVC or Panasonic. And then convert the edited footage to 24P progressive-scan with DVFilm Maker.

For interlaced video cameras, DVFilm Maker performs the following operations in a single pass:
1. It intelligently deinterlaces HDV, NTSC or PAL video for a "shot on film" appearance, without reducing resolution.
2. OR it can convert standard NTSC to 24P and back to NTSC, again without degradation of the image.
3. It also converts 16:9 anamorphic to letterbox if required.
4. It can also letterbox (crop) 4:3 video to 16:9 if required.
5. It can also simulate film grain and red layer emulsion shift if desired.

For the DVX100, XL-2, HV20*, Maker is also useful for those who edit at 24P:
1. Converts 24P Advanced or Normal Mode to 24P for editing (click here for details).
2. Will also convert normal interlaced video (60i) to 24P to import video shot with other cameras.
3. Converts 24P back to 2:3:3:2 pulldown NTSC for non-recompressed archive to tape.
4. OR converts 24P to 3:2 pulldown (film-motion) NTSC for broadcast.
5. Will also convert MXF files from the Panasonic HVX200 to Quicktime or AVI.

*Note: HD/HDV pulldown remove features and available in Windows version only.
