This solved the problem. Many thanks. (The Intensity web site was down for some time today, but the new driver on the right volume worked.)

I’m having similar problems with the trial version of PP6 and my Blackmagic Intensity card. I get good images on my external HD video monitor from HDV clips or clips captured to PP6 via the Intensity card in the DVC 100 codec. But I get no images on this monitor when trying to play either ProRes422 (HQ) or AVC HD clips.

Emannuel,

This is really helpful. Thank you so much. When the latest version of Adobe CS comes out next month, I’ll buy it and try your method.

Best wishes,

Bouke,

Many thanks for this incredibly useful software. It worked very smoothly.

Emannuel,

Would you be willing to describe your workflow in detail? I didn’t have success with it, either by demuxing with Bouke’s app or from within DVDSP. Here’s what I did:

– I exported the HDV sequence as a self-contained QT file at current settings. The “get info” command in the finder shows this as 1920×1080. QT player displays the aspect ratio pretty correctly, and the Movie Inspector shows the dimensions as 1440×1080.

– After demuxing with Bouke’s app, I get an mpeg file and an aif file, as I expect. The “get info” command for the mpeg shows 1440×1080. When opened in QT, the aspect ratio looks correct, but the Movie Inspector lists the dimensions at 1440×810. “Movie Properties” for the mpeg file lists a video track and a sound track (!), which I hear when playing back in QT Player (in other words, it’s not an elementary stream).

– When I drag the mpeg into Toast 11 Pro, I see the video and sound listed. I set Toast to “never re-encode” and it gives up after a few seconds or starts re-encoding.

So, no success. I’d be interested to hear about your workflow and hear any ideas you might have about what I’m doing wrong. I know that you use Encore rather than Toast, but I suspect the problems I’m having would be the same with Encore, since Encore wants elementary streams.

Many thanks.

Bouke,

Would you be willing to make this app available again? I too am trying to get HDV in its native form onto Blu-Ray.

Many thanks.

I just came across your helpful message. I’ve been trying for a while to get HDV onto a Blu-Ray without re-encoding. As you suggested, I extracted the mpeg via DVDSP. I brought this into Toast 11 Pro and instructed it to “never reencode.” But Toast essentially rejected the file and wouldn’t burn a disk. Any ideas?

Just to be clear, the problem I couldn’t solve was that clips in the viewer played back through the Intensity card on the video monitor but when the clips were put into a sequence, they wouldn’t play properly on the video monitor. Either they showed as a frozen frame or they moved in a stuttering way with lots of dropped frames.

Both Adobe and BM say that the Intensity card should work with PP 5.5.

I never got it to work. Blackmagic support suggested that the problem was that the sequence settings didn’t match the format of the clips. I thought the formats did match but Blackmagic’s advice came too late for me to try again. I was using the trial version of PP and it had already expired. I didn’t go ahead and buy PP precisely because I couldn’t get the video monitor to work through the Intensity card. A previous message from Blackmagic support suggested that there might be a feature missing in the trial version. But I doubted this.

Premiere Pro 5.5 simply doesn’t see the Blackmagic Card on my computer once the Blackmagic Intensity Pro driver version 3.9.4 is installed. I tried reinstalling the (Trial) version of Premiere Pro 5.5. But it still doesn’t see the Intensity card. I think this is checkmate. But many thanks for your suggestion.
