Re: Standards Conversion PAL->NTSC Audio Sync - 16 years agoOr I could play the DVDs in a $25 DVD player that will play PAL DVDs and do a straight dub from that. It's a little blockier and not quite as smooth. It's not quite as nice as what Nattress would do, but there's no audio problems and it's in real time. Casey Petersen www.unitedvideoinc.comby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: Standards Conversion PAL->NTSC Audio Sync - 16 years agoActually I followed the video step by step as I did it, since it was my first time. Maybe there's something with the MPG video having been stripped off the DVD that's making it out of sync. It might be different if it was captured in FCP the right way, instead of the way I did it. Thanks! Casey Petersen www.unitedvideoinc.comby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: Standards Conversion PAL->NTSC Audio Sync - 16 years agoThere is a place locally that uses a $95,000 machine to do the transfer. We had them do one of the DVDs to see how it looked, and honestly, it didn't look as good as what the Nattress did. Maybe it's a poor PAL transfer to DVD in the first place, I don't know. Do you know what they use in Santa Monica? We're in Minneapolis. We haven't committed to doing the transfer yet, but if we caby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: Standards Conversion PAL->NTSC Audio Sync - 16 years agoThat's exactly what I did, I exported to a self contained movie and then applied the filter. My project then ended up being the right duration, but the last two minutes of my project was gone. The video was slowed down and the duration remained the same, but I had to work around it to get my last two minutes back, and then render that whole thing as a self contained movie. Then I edited it, anby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Standards Conversion PAL->NTSC Audio Sync - 16 years agoI have a customer who brought in 12 hours of PAL footage on DVD, and I'm doing a 17 minute edit from all that footage. I ripped the MPEG files off the DVD using MPEGStreamClip. I cut the project together and am rendering the Standards Conversion filter now. However, the audio is not even close to being in sync, and I noticed on the Nattress website that audio is not affected by this filter. Fby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: HDV 1440x1080 down conversion to SD DVD - 17 years agoSince the beginning, I have been laying my HDV edits to tape on my Z1U, and then using the camera to downconvert to SD and come into my Panasonic ES-25 DVD recorder via firewire. Then I strip out the video and audio streams off the dvd, and author in DVDSP. I have found this A LOT faster than trying to use Compressor, and the quality also looks a lot better in my opinion. Plus, it's easy for mby CaseyPetersen - DVD Studio Pro Menu button - 17 years agoHi everyone! There was a feature back in DVDit Pro 2.5 that I really liked, but have not seen in anything since then. It was a little thing that they called "Last Menu". At the end of a clip, or any time you pushed the menu button, there was an option to go to any specific menu, or the last menu...the last menu used...so if you were watching a DVD, and hit Chapters from your main mby CaseyPetersen - DVD Studio Pro Re: Z1U timecode breaks - 17 years agoThe only way I know to avoid this problem is to turn off the "Quick Rec" (quick record) option in the menu under "others" (in camera mode). This way, there aren't any of those little timecode breaks. However, if the camera does go into standby, it will take maybe 10 seconds or so to actually start recording, which is okay, as long as you're not "running and gunning"by CaseyPetersen - Café LA HDV print to video problems - 17 years agoI have a 15 minute HDV project that I've been trying to Print to Tape. 14:55 minutes in, the video will freeze briefly, and drop the signal altogether, and then come back and pick it up 5 seconds later, as if nothing went wrong. I tried rebooting, and that didn't work. I converted it into a single file and made the movie self contained, tried it twice and still had the problem.

Caseyby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: Alternative to DH Counter? - 17 years agoThanks for such quick replies! Is it possible to take the DH counter and record it by itself, say at 1 hour 00 minutes, and key it over my footage, while cropping off the 1 hour part? I'm still kind of a newbie to FCP, I've been using it for about 5 months now. Thanks for all your help so far! This is a great site! Caseyby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Re: Alternative to DH Counter? - 17 years agoThanks for the quick reply. The include zero option is described on the tutorial. It says that it will start the counter at 0 instead of 1. Caseyby CaseyPetersen - Café LA Alternative to DH Counter? - 17 years agoHi Everyone, Is there an alternative to Digital Heaven's DH counter? I'm looking for a plug in that will put a running clock on the screen. DH Counter will do that, but it won't start at 0:00, it starts at 0 without the added zeros or colon. Thanks in advance, Caseyby CaseyPetersen - Café LA |
