Correct way of editing uncompressed dv material
Hi experts
If I have material shot on mini dv but need to put a lot of filters and text layers on top of it, what’s the best way regarding quality?
What is the difference between:1- capture via firewire (so timecode will not be lost)
2- unplug firewire deck to plug in io
3- Sequence settings to 8 bit betacam to dv
and from there keep it 8 bit ucas oppossed to
1- capture via firewire (so timecode will not be lost)
2- work in a dv sequence (putting on filters and text)
3- When it’s done an approved, just switch this dv sequence to a 8 bit sequence and render and print to tape (Mini Dv or Betacam SP)through I/OAlso, how can I Capture from DSR-11 trough I/O Analog outputs, but mantaining timecode records. What I would think of is to do as with Aurora Cards, control the machine via firewire and capture via analog, but with the I/O, I’ve heard is not possible to have both firewire devices (I/O and DSR-11) plug at the same time. Is this correct?
Thanks
Thanks Experts

YOu will not get any better quality capturing from a DSR-11 through the AJA Io in fact you will lose quality and timecode. The dsr-11 only has s-video or composite analog outputs and no RS422 control. Also to answer your #3. Using that setting would still give you a dv capture not 8 bit uncompressed. Your best bet is to work with the footage in dv, captured over firewire. Then if you need to deliver on beta sp you could then drop your timeline into a 8 bit uncompressed sequence and render and print to tape or just print to dv tape and make a beta sp dub off that which would probably be quicker.
