DV-LP
Sooo… miniDV format has an LP mode, huh?
Project:
All MiniDV tapes delivered to me direct from the dub-house. Producer is keeping originals and I’m using exact digital dubs. My guess is the dub house made the mistake of dubbing in LP mode. (Cuz you can’t shoot in it, right?)?? I tried other 24p tapes and they work just fine.Avid:
Adrenaline HD v2.1.5; 23.976 projectAnyone else have this happen?
If I were to venture a guess, the deck blinking “DV-LP” when I put a tape in is bad, Bad, BAD, so I should just have the producer redo the dubs. Right?______

Hey Pixel
Hope this doesnt end up being a teach u how to suck eggs one….
DV is only supported for LP playback in the machine that it was recorded in, manufacturers wont guarantee playback in other decks (sony > Pana or whatever) but i’ve found the problem even amoungst different models from one manufacturer.
The output as u may have seen is crap, jumpy non-fluid playback if its a case of the above.
The bad news is that DV can be recorded LP in the camera, arrggghhhh !!! i dont think so in DVCAM ones but certainly miniDV cameras can. If thats the case get hold of the camera and firewire it in otherwise u may well be stuffed.
If the stuff was professionally shot on LP, get the cameraman shot.
Hope that helps
