Dear Luke,

Sorry for the late answer. Been busy trying to capture and taping with D. Extreme.

“Can you tell me why you are using a DV timeline?”
I’m using this to get the real time from the timeline. Since i’m using many TGA file on 2nd layer in the timeline for subtiting project, and using the decklink timeline it won’t give me the realtime. But I guess that would be the problem since then i import the project on Decklink Timneline, and render it using the decklink timeline also. Or can you give me other suggestion on this?

And i’been trying to capture the footage and taping them as your suggestion, all in Decklink Timeline. But i still see what i call it in here “soft picture”. It looks like the captured picture is experiencing some looses. And on further observation on 14′ PVM monitor (only) i see a noticable grain in the picture, event on the captured picture. Note : i also set the gain in proc amp (in Control Panel) to maximum, yet the loss is still noticable.

I know that the 8 or 10 bit Decklink Codec isn’t loseless, but since the picture drop is noticeable, could you give me any diagnosis.
Or can it be from my UVW 1800 player, but the connection is directly from the Extreme card to the player.

Thanks a lot

Dear Shane,

I’ve been using Decklink Extreme with 4.6 driver on PPro, and it has worked
seamlessly perfect, either capturing or printing to tape.

I use the Extreme card for my subtitle project using TGA as Alpha Channel.
With the old driver, prior to 4.8 driver, it all worked well.

But after using 5.0 and afterward driver, i always find that upon Printing To Tape from the timeline, the video result (using PAL AVI format) is lipsync after 9 menit. But it sometime can be corrected after trying for 2 or 3 time.

Could you give a brief solution on this?

Thanks a lot

Regards

Argot.

Here is my Configuration :

2 Gig RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Ppro 1.5
Using Inscriber for producing TGA image

Windows Media Player 10

Dear Zak,

How many disk you are using for your disk array? And what kind of disk interface
yuo are using?

I’ve loaded all the TGA on my disk array, but still it happened
on V5 driver and later. On the earlier version it didn’t.

Thanks, Luke.
I guess my 4 SATA Raid 0 is faster enough just to handle 8 bit PAL
eventhough i use so many TGA on my project.

Perhaps it due to my overcrowded disk, containing so many trash of deleted video files. I will try to wipe my disk first, then reinstall the 5.1 driver.
And then I’ll let you know the result.

Thanks
