Blast1,

I can understand that.
But I get NO red line on the timeline…!

Here is the sequence that gives me problems:

On Premiere Pro 2.0 (on one PC) I capture from Sony Z1 in DV via FireWire.
Those Capture files play ok on that PC with PP2 and on another one with P6.5.
So far so good.

I import that Capture file to the PP2 timeline.
The Work bar fits to it’s size.
I do a Export Movie from the workbar in Microsoft AVI DV PAL.

The generated file (“almost” a copy of the original Capture) plays ok on PP2
but on P6.5 has audio but NO image.

The P6.5 timeline does not present a red line.
If I do PLAY on P6.5, I have sound and a BLACK video out.

BUT… …

If on P6.5 I do ALT+Scrub I do get image on the Monitor Program window, BUT DO NOT get image on video out trought YUV signal.

I open Procoder and/or Combustion, import that DV file, and on both programs I get the correct picture.
If I export, from any of those, to DV, them… Premiere 6.5 plays them OK.

To me this is QUITE strange.

I’ve doouble checked all the configs, but no better results.

BTW. Any file that I export in DV from the P6.5 are properly read by PP2 (as it’s supposed!)

I honestly never found anything like that in my life.
We’re always learning something.

I’m affraid that’s NOT a nightmare.
I walked away from the office “yesterday” 3:00 AM.

Today I arrived and the “nightmare” still stands.

So it’s quite real!

I’m going to do a couple of new export movies on the Premiere Pro 2.0 machime and see the results.

Any hint on this?

Thanks,

The technitian that is fixing the 1800P, does not know this model.
He has worked for many years in our Public television but they only have 75, 65 and now Digital 500 and so on.
They have never worked with this Betacam series
and he has not the service manual for this model.
Also these code errors are not the same ones than appear on the other betacam models.

I’ve passed him your info. Hope it can help.

I’m trying to solve the problem without having to buy the service manual.
BTW. do you know if it’s a 1 or 2 volumes ?
I’ve searched on the net and some people sells 1 manual and in some places they sell 2 volumes.

If you know someone that can share with me the service manual in pdf, I’ll apreciate.

Sincerely
Carlos

I’ve used the trial of DVRack for 30 days.
I had like work with it.
But to have a laptop around on outdoors it’s not very practical.

Before I buy, I will try the Redrock Revolution.
Probably they will do the same, with a few minor updates for the Revolution. Flip the image…

I’m tempted to go with Marsahll, but I have to think 10 times in spend that amount of money.
(I’m not ritch…)
