I'm wondering if there is a way to pull video from a server and bring it into FCP without a loss in video quality. I'm using a PowerBook G4 with FCP 5. I've used a thumbdrive to bring in a 1:30 worth of audio and video from server on a different PC and imported it into my Mac laptop using a thumbdrive. This Quicktime file has the file is 20.1MB with the Dimensions of 320x240. Codecs: MPEG1 Muxed.
Is there any way to return the video and audio back to broadcast quality?

> Muxed. Is there any way to return the video and audio back to broadcast quality? Broadcast quality!?!?!? Are you serious!?!?!? MPEG Streamclip can demux the MPEG-1 and make it editable in FCP with audio, but it will be about four generations away from broadcast quality. You won't even get a decent-looking DVD from that. 20MB worth of data would be about, oh, 10 frames of broadcast-quality video. www.derekmok.com
Back to your original question, Smitty... yes you can bring video files from a server with no loss in quality. As per the prior replies, the quality will match the format. If you're importing a low-quality image, it'll stay that way. If the server contains high-quaility videos in high-quality formats, those will be fine.
It all goes back to silk purses and sow's ears. bob rice frameworx media
