i can tell with this way that the saturation and contrast is down a bit.

[Cade Muhlig]

behold, it works!
it looks ok, but you say the bnc route is better? have you tried?

thanks mucho

[Cade Muhlig]

wow, thats interesting…
so would the dual bnc to s-video signal be better than the composite?

[Cade Muhlig]

good point,

video or s-video

[Arniepix] “Most likely you need to use faster hard drives. It’s also possible that your drives are too full, and they’ll stop dropping frames if you can free up enough space that they’re no more than 70-75% full”

that was my problem, and also make sure you dont have any other firewire devices hooked up (that is if you are using firewire).

try photojpeg maybe
it is less compressed than dvcprohd.
if you submit h264 to them, they take their flash compressor and add it to your compression, which makes a mess.
but its kind of a trial and error thing

16:9 for web…

small 320×180
med 640×360

but small will look a lot better for the size

there are many ways to do this, most of which i have recently tried,
and the simplest way to do it is to
>export to compressor
>chose dvd fastest encode (looks the same as best quality), all
>*important* double click your mpeg-2 entry under setting,
under the video format tab, set the field dominance to Bottom first.
>then if your taking it to dvd studio, change your preferences there also to bottom first.

another way is to export with quicktime to dvcprohd 720p, then to compressor normally. but the top way is faster.

[macfreek] “Another option is to just export the seq as a quicktime file (what ever you are working in) and then use THAT to do the encoding in compressor or whatever…”

yea that option isnt that bad, i tried it yesterday actually, but the movement was pretty bad.
thanks for the tip

But this situation was one of the BIG reasons I bought the Kona LH…to output in real time to a DVD recorder. I was fed up with the long encode times and close delivery dates.”

is it easy to reimport what you recorded on dvd back to the computer then add to dvd studio?
(ive got a kona lhe card.)
