video material improperly with the wrong field order and then import it into
different material. We use MXV or MPEG "Top field first" format for all analog
recordings ("odd" in other programs).
DV-AVI on the other hand is saved with “Bottom Field First”.
You can correct the field series for each video object in its object settings.

Quality
Featuring a resolution of 720 x 576 (PAL) and encoded with MPEG-2, 25
frames per second provides very good results.
Writable data storage formats
The recordable DVD market is currently split into three types: "DVD-RAM",
"DVD+RW", and "DVD-RW".
DVD-R/+R: This medium may only be written to once. The DVD-R may be
specified with file structures for DVD video, DVD audio, or DVD-ROM.
DVD +RW: +RW drives allow re-writable DVDs to be created which may be
read by almost any commercial DVD-ROM or DVD player. The companies
involved are mainly Philips, Sony, HEWLETT PACKARD (as well as Ricoh,
Yamaha and Mitsubishi).
DVD-RW: This is a write/erase DVD technology promoted by Pioneer and
Sharp. This format was developed by the Pioneer company and should be
compatible with existing DVD players.
DVD-RAM: DVD-RAM technology is based on either Phase Change, MOs, or
hard disks, etc. and is now almost 100% incompatible with all available
players.
Due to the small storage capacity and incompatibility with DVD players, setting
on this standard is not recommended.
Note: MAGIX Video easy supports DVD±R and DVD±RW, but not DVD-RAM.
