  • Haven’t done DVD – Video job in a long time…Workflow questions.

    Posted by Daniel De avila on December 7, 2010 at 7:01 pm

    Hello All
    Hope you don’t mind the question as its been some time since doing one of these things.

    Source is at 1920 x 1080 25fps
    Going to NTSC authored DVD-Video for international delivery.
    There will be four language streams:
    English – UK
    Chinese – Mandarin
    Korean – Standard Korean
    Spanish – European

    Now…the master video is in English and once completed we are going to record the other languages using the English version as a reference. (VO talent reading from script and trying to pace things out to the English ref video).

    Now, if we time everything the other languages out to the English version (at its master frame rate of 25fps), is there a chance for things to go out of sync once the video is transcoded to the delivery frame rate? (NTSC 29.97fps) Since the audio streams are separate to the video stream.

    Should the video first be conformed to the delivery frame rate before doing the VO work?

    Hope that makes sense. Any thoughts are most welcome.

    Sincerely
    Daniel

    Hi Dan….hope all is well

    The best place to ask this question would be the FCP forum. Many folks over there experienced with these conversion issues.

    Im guessing here since I havent done a conversion like this in awhile. Is your footage progressive 25p? Convert your stuff to 23.98 and adjust the audio timing accordingly by slowly it down 4%. Michael Sacci is a moderator here and will surely have definite answer Im sure.

    In the mean time go to the FCP forum
