Ty,
There is more to it..
(like always:)I’ve looked up the manual for your recorder, it tells me this:
——-
48.048k and 48.048kF
The 48.048kF mode (F stands for
fake, faux, Fostex—take your pick)
is a specific compatibility mode
for use with the Fostex DV40 software
(1.74 and previous), Avid, Final Cut Pro,
and other post-production
environments that do not recognize audio files written at 48.048 kHz. In this mode files are
recorded at a 48.048 kHz sampling rate but are stamped at 48 kHz. When played, they will play back
0.1% slower than real time.
——-So i assume you have recorded 48.048.
(I would like to see one of those files if you did not!)That does NOT mean that FCP is wrong. A BWF file should import with the same duration no matter the Df / Ndf setting.
But the solution is easy if things go bad. Just change a few bytes in the file and FCP will play nice. (the sample rate is defined in the file, if you just change that and leave the entire file alone, everything will be fine.)

I don’t get it. (But i have limited experince with it, and i have no idea what the Turbo is…)
Compressor normally includes TC with conversion from QT to QT. If it does not in your case, you could applescript a tiny bit that copies the TC from one file to another.
(Or you could hire me to make something that does this.)Bouke

what cam uses 30 FPS?
(Only the still cams that shoot video nowadays do..)
Aren’t you confusing it with drop and non-drop?Bouke

Open the clip in FCP
Choose modify->timecode and set it to your liking.
This will alter the file.hth,

There is absolutely no need for expensive software and hardware.
Outputting with CC to DV can be done over just firewire with FCP 7Only thing expensive and labour intensive is the creation of the CC files. That can be done by any company that can provide you with a .SCC file.
If you want to do it yourself with inexpensive software, have a look at Subbits. Originally made for subtitling, but you can switch it in CC mode and create .SCC files.
(download a free demo from my site)hth,

Yes, it will work, but there can be other issues.
50 Gig is not that much. A half decent gigabit network is faster than your average el-cheapo transport drive, so that will not make a difference in time.
(I edit on gig-ethernet, although with iSCSI)You should be able to get about 20 – 30 MB speed.
So it should take you less than an hour over your network.(Of course Rafaels solutions are great, but if it’s a one timer, be done with it the easy and safe way..)

I’ve cleaned up some 16 hour of movies (some VERY old).
I’ve used a couple of passes.
First pass was finding the cuts. (That’s why i made my Cutfinder app)
Next step was FlickerFixer (perhaps not needed for you)
Then Dirt remover. This works wonders in SOME cases.
But it does not like fire, fast motion (birds and stuff), sparkles and everything that makes a movie interesting.
Those two plugins can be found here:
https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/productdownloads.html
(And they only work on seperate shots, and need 2 frames extra on the start)
Oh, and the dirt removing is SLOW. For SD, think about 100 times RT,
even on a fast computer.Now all this work needs manual attention. (mask in the original where the plugin did things wrong)
Last step was manually cleaning up in Photoshop.
For that i’ve written an application to control a QT from within Photoshop. With one keystroke you can get a frame with it’s previous or next frame into Photoshop, correct it and another single keystroke to get it back into the QT. (on another track, so it’s non-destructive)
The imporant part is that you need to see the movie in motion to decide what is dirt, and what is a flashing light in the bt, or an insect or whatever.
It is a hell of a job (we spent about a year on doing 16 hours, but we had massive corrections to do), your work will be faster 🙂The Photoshop tool is windows only at the moment. But you can have it if you like.
it can be downloaded here:
https://www.videotoolshed.com/?page=products&pID=31
I have no idea if it is the latest version, as i’ve constantly updated it when we worked with it.
But good to have a look at.
(I also don’t know if there is a demo limitation or not, but i’ll make it available for free if someone wants it)Bouke

This is SOOO easy!
I bet you are recording DF.
If NTSC DF, 01:10:04:06 is 126000 frames.
This is a too round number, it has to have a meaning in the code somewhere.But what?
Add all the digits (1 + 2 + 6 + 0 + 0 + 0) and you end up with 9
See the top of this page to know what that means:
https://www.falasha-recordings.com/points%20of%20interest/numbers/Mystical%20numbers.htmlNow the three zeros at the end tell you to do that 3 times,
so you end up with 999Now of course from hell(heaven is above, hell is below, you look UP to that number, with your head way back in your neck, you read it upside down, so it sez 666
I say, sick programmer joke. Try altering the max capture time.
(Or log the clip first and then capture)Bouke

Mick,
It’s quite frustrating that with all the info you need to solve your problem you post this.Besides, this is a FCP forum. If you have FCP, you have DVDSP.
Why bothering going to iDVD?Bouke
