Thanks for the reply…

I actually meant DV cam, I don’t know how the extra D got in there!!

So it it still puzzling me – if anyone can help? sorry to be misleading

Thanks again,

Dave

PS – i did change the sequence settings to mpeg4, and exported using the uncompressed 8 bit eventually, (compressor wouldn’t open!) but like you said, wrong from the start – live and learn though!

OK, well thanks for the advice. It’s getting there slowly, but looks like this has been one of those steep learning curve excercises!

thanks anyway

[Davellis]

ps – I’ve just read about unchecking the ‘recompress all frames’ option which should help. Maybe I should just be using the quicktime export for simplicity and time saving?

thanks

HI, thanks for the response. I’m working on a G5 dual 1.8 ghz, and I’m using mp4 footage (it’s for a private function and some of the content has been ripped from wildlife dvd’s). The original easy setup settings were configured for dv pal anamorphic, and since then there is no dv pal footage, but a mix of pal dvd content in the mp4 and quicktime movie format.

I can’t access compressor at the moment so cannot export as mpeg2. The video needs to be displayed on a large plasma, and is video only (no graphics or text). As for scratch discs I’m using the network backup externa hard drive to store all the media files.

Hope this helps – I’m getting a bit desperate! the video has to be finished by thursday evening!

thanks again for any help,

Dave
