  MC Soft DV output to DVD

  Posted by Gwillym Hewetson on April 9, 2008 at 4:48 pm

  OK here is my queery..

  I have been trying to output my cut to DVD via firewire and the DVD player has been unable to see the DV signal.

  I am running MC soft 2.8.0 off of a Power PC G5 with extra Firewire card and OSX 10.4.9.

  I have tried sending the signal thru a secondary device such as canupos in order to change the signal to Analogue for the DVD player but all I get is Colour bars or grey screen and if I go via the I.link it tells me there is no signal.

  Incidentally on my MC soft there is no Video output or input tool although I have been able to digitise thru firewire (this may be a hint at the problem).

  It seems there is something interrupting the DV signal coming out of the Avid.

  If anyone has tried to record to DVD via firewire from the avid and knows this solution please get in touch.

  Cheers

  you’ll need to bring it in analog with deck control turned off.

  thanks for the input unfortunately I am not trying to take in the DVD I am trying to playout to the DVD via the Firewire.

  And the DVD player’s i.link can’t see the avid. If you have any info on achieving this that would be great.

  Thanks again for the shot.

  Cheers

  ahhh
  again, analog is your friend. Firewire is wantin to control somthing. Alteratively, you can hook up the firewire, crasah record and just play your timeline. Your IOs are hot all the time.
