damn. that is just so expensive! i was hoping that i could just get away with some of the given settings.

Okay..sorry bout that. let me clear up it a little bit.

Mike – the footage that i rendered was quality. It was HDV footage that i edited and then just down-converted to mpeg2 SD widescreen. It wasn’t long at all….maybe 3 min clip. Burnt to DVD and quality isn’t there.

George – Yes…i believe what i’m seeing is what you said is called ‘overscan’. Anything that was near the edges, is now lost….and / or cut off. Like the picture is zoomed in 1x or something like that.

So ya…..is there any solutions? Thanks!

Hey thank you very much for taking the time to explain all this to me. That just cleared up all my questions. Man….this is a process huh!! Well, onward!

Ya…i’m using Sony Vegas. And it won’t remove pulldown. And it won’t capture the 24p recorded footage as 24p instead it captures it as 60i.

Thanks for the information! One more quick question…..

All this is going to a DVD….(a documentary that will be sold in various sporting good stores).

So if i were to remove the pulldown, edit, and then export it out to DV tape….to be sent out to the DVD authoring and duplication service , would i need to add back in the pulldown? I’m trying to achieve that “Film Look”. Does AE add back in pulldown?

Thanks in Advance

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I went a bit deeper into the media, once it was in Vegas…i right clicked on the footage…and selected the the correct pixel ratio. Thanks again. Problem solved

Gracias

haven’t found it….i’m looking everywhere for that. The wierd thing is..is that Quicktime doesn’t even pick it up as 16:9! So i’m copying and pasting this in the Vegas forum too. But the search of a cure is still on! Thx

thank you. that did it!
