Activity Forums Compression Techniques BitVice problem

    Please help ASAP. My client needs 25 DVDs by tomorrow morning (26 January, 9:00 A.M. -6GMT).

    After days of trying to make a clean DVD using Apple Compressor & Squeeze, I downloaded and tried out BitVice and the results were fantastic! All my weird image artifacts went away. I was FINALLY able to make a good quality DVD of my 1920X1080 FCP ProRes timeline.

    I went ahead and purchased the Lite version of BitVice. I have not been able to get the Lite version to work. The demo version of Pro did work. When I try convert the image I receive two error messages. The first states “Image parameter missmatch. Please check your input images.” After I click on abort, I get a second message of “Exception from compressor. Please check your input images.” I click on abort again and the program quits.

    I have a 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac.

    I have sent emails to BitVice sales and support and have not heard back from them yet.
    Yes – I do realize that it is the weekend but I am getting desperate.

    Thanks – Ken

    Two things:

    Are you sure the lite version supports HD source? (I haven’t seen anything that says it doesn’t)

    Have you posted your question on the Innobits forum?

    You cannot post at the BitVice forum until they approve your account.

    I got a response from tech support. I needed to change my frame size to a height of 480. That fixed it. But, I did learn that while the Lite version will handle HD source footage, it’s scaler is not nearly as good as the more expensive 2.4 version.
    I ended up purchasing the more expensive version and it works perfectly. I FINALLY am able to make a standard def DVD of my HD material withou all the weird scaling/interlacing artifacts!
