  • avoiding nesting and dual standards DVD burner

    Posted by Yervant on May 1, 2005 at 9:21 am

    working on a long form project and being a greenhorn, I’d like to know what workaround there is to working on different sequences and slapping them onto an ongoing roughcut sequence without the roughcut being considered a nested sequence (so tha I can have the option of communicating w/other NLEs for finishing).

    also, is it possible to have 2 superdrives – one PAL and the other NTSC on my g4? This locking into either standard is very annoying

    thanks,

    [Yervant] “I’d like to know what workaround there is to working on different sequences and slapping them onto an ongoing roughcut sequence without the roughcut being considered a nested sequence”

    When you’re done with the individual sequences, just do a “Copy All” in the sequence and then “Paste” to your main rough cut sequence. This will bring the entire edited timeline into your rough cut without it being a nest.

    Not sure what you mean here. DVD drives only lock to a particular DVD region playback, nothing to do with NTSC/PAL

    it may not be a standards issue per se, but region 1 is by default NTSC whereas region 2 is PAL. But, yes, my question is whether I could run a region 1 as well as a region 2 superdrive in the same G4.

    thanks for the nesting issue. going by the Apple manual alone can get confusing!

    All of Region 1 is NTSC, but Region 2 encompasses Europe and Japan, and is hence both PAL and NTSC. Indeed, the TV standard (PAL or NTSC) can be set independent of region code.
