Chris,
That was a long time ago… Workprint isn’t on the menu anymore… I still own some of those grease pencils myself.

Victor,
You can never completely eliminate renders, but you can certainly eliminate many renders so long as your sequence settings match your captured video. Your best bet with your BM card is to capture 8 bit uncompressed, and make certain that you use the same settings in Easy Setup and in the View settings, and that should virtually eliminate rendering.

Ed,
Paolo started this thread and he’s using Nero, not Toast, just as I am. So, your settings in Toast won’t really help him. Let’s try to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges…

You’ll have to have a very good scanner to make a 35mm slide look good. Typical home or office scanners don’t have enough resolution to do the trick. They seldom do 600 dpi without interpolation, even though they may advertise 1200 o 2400. You might consider having your slides them scanned at a service bureau at least at 1200 dpi.

I always burn using the DVD video choice.

[Blub] “Please do it off the negative not the work print!”
Blub,
In the case of a telecine to tape there is no workprint. Did you go to happy hour?

Sebastian,
I’m rethinking this entirely now… Call the original telecine house, see if they stored the original data from your telecine session. If so, just have them re-telecine selected takes from their data logs.

Its not that bad Sebastian… Call the telecine place and find out how much longer it will take them. A good operator can type in numbers pretty darned fast, especially if you provide him with an accurately typed list of timecode and edgecode representing the head and tail of each selected take.

Sebsatian,
Okay, here’s the deal. Because telecine bays are driven by online editing systems, operators do have the ability to assign specific timecodes to specific film edgecodes. Of course each entry has to manually entered, and that takes time and costs money. But it certainly can be done.
It is possible that you could obtain software that would allow you create a Flex File or Evertz file with timecode and edgecode that would be readable in their system, but that might be expensive and you’d have to learn to use it.
In the future, you would most likely be better off to bite the bullet and telecine everything to HD at the beginning.
Does this help???
