Splitting large .dv file into pieces with no loss?



Hi all, first post here.

I have a large .dv file (31 GB / 2 hours) that I created from a DVD using
MPEG Streamclip and the default settings (I do not know enough yet to change
them). Looking at the Movie Info I see:

DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 Millions
DV, Stereo

I have watched it and identified approx 40 clip in and out points. My goal
is for each clip to add an ending sequence and then compress for the web, in
QT and .wmv (using flip4mac) format.

I am wondering if I can cut it in segments without losing quality. Then when
the ending sequence is ready I will be working with smaller pieces and
rendering will not take so long. In the meantime I can be getting the clips
cut up.

I am new to video and using Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Compressor 1 for now and
have the Final Cut Pro 5 suite on order.

Thanks in advance for any tips on this on what might be a good way to do
this.

All the best,


Tony White
