I just authored a 53 minute blu ray in Toast 10 directly from a Apple Pro Res QT file…and it is out of synch by a few seconds. The original file is in synch. There are not many settings to play with in Toast. Any suggestions?
I am wondering if the player may be at fault? Is it possible it can’t handle the data throughput?

Thank you all for your helpful and detailed responses. I appreciate what you say, Jean-Christophe, about waiting until the final mix. Unfortunately, in this case I am the final mix. I am considering the Izotope NR, but I will demo it first.
Nobody touched on the question of glass noise artifacts and how to reduce them. I suppose it is just a question of not over-driving the denoiser. Any comments on this?
à tantôt,

My understanding is that converting from 24p or 23.98 NTSC to PAL (which s 25) is much easier, in the tape=based domain.
And I can burn a Blue Ray Region 0 which will work everywhere, right?

Thnks a lot for the replies. I know blue ray is not the format of the future but I think it could be a good option for some foreign festivals and as a screener. Shipping is cheaper and you are a lot less likely to get your package held up in customs. If they don’t send it back you are not losing an expensive HD-CAM tape that may have cost you a chunk of change to get duped or mastered. I think if festival reps see the blue ray they might be a little more inclined to accept the flm. Who knows? There’s always DVD to fall back on, or other hi-res options discussed here. I bit the bullet and bought the LAcie D2.
I have gotten a sens of the best workflow but there are a lot of contradictory threads. It should be interesting. One persistent question is the 24p issue. I shot in “24p mode” on a V1-U and, in the fine cut stage, upresed from hdv 29.97 via compressor conversion to 23.98 Apple Pro-Res 422. I get the vibe that this is good for Blue Ray but I am still in the dark about exactly why and if i even needed to upres in this way. If I am not going to film will i see a difference (I have not yet, although frames have definitely been removed). I get the feeling this ultimately may be moot. Anyway, back to editing.
Best,
Alex
