Part of my problem also was that after installing 4.1, I was getting the error message that 4.0 static plugin was no longer available.

Thanks Paul, I was unaware of the script.

October 18, 2006 at 5:00 pm in reply to: SD to SD Conversion not working on my Kona2

On my first try it didn’t work for me also – I could only choose Off or Letterbox in the SD to SD conversion, and the signal was not usable. After some random switching of inputs and capture settings (both HD & SD) it did start to function as advertised, but then after a while my Kona 2 seem to lock up and wouldn’t work at all. I had to shut the whole system down and let it sit for a minute or 2 just to get it to reboot. Once I was up the conversion was again not working, but after some playing I got it to work again. I’ve tried to recreate the steps to get it to fail and/or start working, but to no avail.

The other thing that I find not to work is Downconvert on the input side. With 1080i feeding my Kona 2, it will not down convert to 525 29.97 – upconvert works fine though.

I have not had any problems with crashing.

Check to see if “Generate Safe Levels” is clicked off in your prefs. In RED 4 it’s in Project Settings, and in 3 it’s in Preferences – Local Project.

I agree, pretty wacky not to be able to open what you created with RED3 with RED4. What I do is open the RED3 generator/filter and copy the tracks, then replace it with a RED4 generator/fitler and paste the tracks. So far everything gets transfered over.

September 3, 2006 at 3:12 pm in reply to: OT: SDLT. Anyone using these for long term storage?

I have used DLT for years to backup projects: a DLT IV on my Avid Xpress, and now an SDLT-1 for my FCP system. Both have been extremely reliable and I’m able to restore any project I’ve ever done.

I’m using the same SDLT drive with Retrospect and it’s extremely reliable – I archive everything I do. I’ve used a DLT and Retrospect for about 10 years (used it with my avid and OS 7-9 prior) and have never had an issue with it.

Thanks, hopefully this will be addressed shortly with a driver update…

Interestingly, if I switch to 10-bit output the image just shifts up on reverse-play (no stretch), while on 8-bit output the bottom of the frame stays but the image stretches vertically the same amount. If I match the shift with the motion tab it appears to be about 6 pixels – 480 vs. 486 ?
