Hi Tom,

I’ve tried the “let Final Cut render it thing” and for me, it looks soft.

I let the Kona do the down convert (this way it is done in hardware instead of software) and send it to a monitor via component analoge if possible. You can then decide if you think I am right. If this looks good to you, you will need to figure out how to get this SD output from the Kona to DVD.

In my situation, I usa a Kona LHe which has component analoge out and send it either to a master tape for achieving or to a Pioneer PVR-LX1 for a hardware recording to DVD. If I need to have a custom DVD, I rip out those MPEG 2 files and AC3 files and author a disk around those files in DVD Studio Pro.

In my experience, the Kona will produce the best down convert from HDV and will do it in real time.

Have you tried the “shift fields” filter?

Hi Charles,

Thank you. You gave great advice.
I downloaded BlackMagic’s codec and it tested fine on the PC.
I’ll include the codec for my client just in case.

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Charles,
What do you mean by yeah?
Yeah, it should not work? Yeah, your not suprised at my results?

I was under the impression that an uncompressed file would not need a codec to play as it is not compressed. Should’nt QuickTime just be able play this file on it’s own (Mac or PC)?

Thanks for the help
Chris
