Like this:

  1. A fast alternative to importing Type-1 Open DML DV AVI files (without re-encoding) is to use QuickTime Pro 5 or 6. Note: “QuickTime Pro” is NOT the free version, rather the Professional Upgrade. First open the DV AVI file in QuickTime Pro Movie Player. By default the preview in the QuickTime Pro Movie Player will look poor quality with low resolution and blocky pixilation: This is just QuickTime’s default DV playback mode. Your final import to combustion will not reflect this low quality. Combustion doesn’t require for the QuickTime “high quality” settings in order to get full resolution DV decoding, unlike many other applications such as Photoshop’s ImageReady. Next, save the clip as a QuickTime “reference movie” using the File->Save As command. In the “Save As” dialog you should change the file extension from .AVI to .MOV and make verify that the “Save normally (allowing dependencies)” is selected. This will create a small file with the same name as the original AVI file, but with a QuickTime .MOV extension. This file just references the original AVI file and they act as a “pair” together and they should not be separated. Should you move the .AVI files to a different folder, remember to also move the .MOV file. Next, you can open the new QuickTime .MOV file directly in Combustion, which will bring in the AVI file. HINT: For this step, always use “List View” in the Combustion File Open dialog (rather than Thumbnails) due to the fact that Combustion may occasionally crash when it tries to make a thumbnail for any Type-1 DV AVI files. Side Note: Even though Type-1 DV AVI files can be larger than 2GB this method will not allow you to bypass the 2GB file size limitation of Combustion. There are still file size limitations in QuickTime for Windows and Combustion. Therefore, this technique is ONLY recommended for short clips below 2 GB in size!
