capturing footage for a Demo Reel

[Rc Maples]

Ringabinn:
I’m not quite sure I understand how I would use the GL2 as a transcoder.

Right now I have the video of the DVD as an AVI file and the Audio track as a Wave file, both on my Harddrive. So far I can’t get it to print to tape in either AXPro or Adobe Premeire.

So How would I need to go about using the gl2 as a transcoder? I’m not sure I’m following the work flow…

The way I see it would be to dump the avi/wav to tape and then re-capture it. I guess I’m missing something?

Anyway, Thanks for the help, mate.. Lemme know in a little more detail how to use the GL2 as a transcoder… Its connected to the box via FireWire.

Thanks in Advance,
RC

PROABLY MISSING SOMETHING AND A LITTLE BEHIND BY NOW…

DVD ANALOG OR S VIDEO OUT TO YOU DV DECK/CAMERA – MENU SETTING OR SWITCH TO EXT VIDEO, e to e in old fashioned terms – load to avid with no deck control nor tc via firewire, ok no great quality but real time and codecless(ish!)

holy smokes. try after effects. it usually takes most files and you can crop or add lines to alleviate the 720×480 vs 720×486 issue easily.
also be careful about what field order you bring it in at. do a frame by frame test with a project at 59.94fps and see if there is any jitter. if there is, then drop the picture a single pixel to reverse the field order, and all should be well.
