problems with digitizing dv tapes

[Sean Oneil]

Hold up. That’s an incredible amount of work to go through when you don’t even know if QT 7.5.1 is the problem. And it probably isn’t.

Seriously try capturing it with Premiere. This is part of troubleshooting. If it works, then you know it’s a FCP problem. If it doesn’t work, then it’s probably a setting on your deck.

Hi
The VX2000 captures at 15fps in progressive mode, so its footage is always going to look ‘different’…

Sean,

you’re right. I am set to try it with Premiere this afternoon…I’ll let you know.
what i found out in the interim is that the vx2000 shoots progressive at 15fps and the best way to painlessly retro grade QT is by using the reputable shareware PACIFIST to swap out 7.4.5 for 7.3.1.

talk to ya soon.

15 fps of progressive, got it.
shot a couple professors at the film department here what was happening this morning- neither had ever seen anything like it…they said it looks like a possible problem with the sample rate that’s occurring when the footage is being rasterized…which makes one of them think it may just be a problem of finding the right codec to use when importing using NTSC DV. Any ideas/ thoughts on that?

Merci,
Louis
