Thanks, sorry I was not clear. I was asking about “the DV field reversal issue.”

[Peter Corbett]

If I import a DV clip into a uncompressed 10-bit project, the fields on that clip are reversed so you get stuttering. Each individual clip on the timeline has to have the fields reversed and be rendered to play back smoothly. This has been evident in the past four Decklink driver releases (at least for Windows).

Mmmmm…fields.

I am using 5.8 drivers….don’t fix what’s not broken was my thinking in the middle of a series. I have just finished the last show, so it’s time to re-visit the driver issue.

I have noticed in the 5.8 drivers, that when importing a DV clip in to a MJPEG upper field dominant project, the fields are automatically dealt with, and there is no stutter. There is a catch though. When this happens in real time, it looks like it uses your CPU to do the job…which in turn gives you less headroom for premiere to do it’s realtime audio mix, resulting is less than satisfactory sound. Maybe this is why they have taken this feature out. It’s what I would have requested.
