Exporting DVCPRO HD720p50 to DVD (PAL)
Hi. I’m currently edit on DVCPRO HD720p50, using FCP 6.0.2, Blackmagic HD card.
The video looks fine after upgraded my FCP to 6.0.2. It is extremely impressive in the timeline, but having problem in DVD (PAL) output.
I have tried out several approach, e.g. exporting direct from timeline using Compressor, export uncompressed mov and import to DVD Studio Pro, editing on different timeline and formats, but it ended up with the same problem – flicker visual.It ONLY works fine with DVCPRO HD720p50, editing timebase:50 (not even 25), and only can play back with SDI. Anything other than this setting will be flicker.
Is there any solution for this? Any suggestions to export DVCPRO HD720p50 to DVD in PAL? Help…

We’ve found taking a Quicktime export from FCP (with the ‘Current Settings’ configuration) and then into Compressor for two-pass 6.5Mbit/s MPEG-2 works well.
However the fact that the image as to be scaled to 80% of it’s height and about 56% of it’s width does mean some detail will be lost or rounded oddly.
I can’t remember the default settings but check your compressor setting is handling the footage as compressed otherwise fine detail will strobe.

Thanks to Dylan & Walter.
Finally, I found the way to do it.
DVCPRO HD 720p50 works fine when I export as a NTSC DVD, but it flicker when I export as PAL. Anyone know why?
I intended to export a PAL DVD, thus shot in 50p, but Compressor does not work well with PAL. sigh….
