BluBlood? Ok… I’m worried about you, mate!

Yes, the authoring is bound to be vey different, what with the 2 new formats having the ability for dynamically created menus and what not. However, we can already encode for these formats today. I have an excellent software encoder, which has superb mpeg2 picture quality. I’ve had it for over 2 years, and I’ve only just discovered that it can encode mpeg 2 up to full HD res, as well as other mpeg2 formats like for IMX.

The only format of the 3 codecs that will be available to sue is h264, which is now finally getting encoding tools.

what kind of discs did the client end up with? pressed or burned -R/+R ?

it does sound very odd though…

[Dominic Osborne]

i’ve jsut realised – i meant “optics compensation” not perspective correction – maybe you figured that out already (sorry, i was a bit rusty, not looked for that filter in a while).

hope it works out for you anyway!!

I’ve dummy’d this effect myself without QTVR. In fact QTVR didn’t even cross my mind at the time.

If you have a very large image tht you want to use as your background layer, import this to AFX, and drop in the timeline. Then place an adjustment layer the same size as the comp directly above it. Finally, apply a “perspective correction” filter to the adjustment layer, with a value that create the distortion you desire. When you then animate the background layer at the bottom of the comp, it will look a lot more interesting than just ‘scrolling’ a 2D background around.

You may or may not want to pre-comp these 2 things if you are going to place more layers above.

Good luck – it worked a treat for me!

That rules me out then….

yes, check if their bounding boxes are over-lapping, but also check the routing of the buttons – if Encore ahs done it for you automagically, it may have had a hiccup in its process.

If it’s ‘clicking’, the audio signal could be going too loud and reaching the point of distortion (I’m afraid I don’t know the correct audio terms for this, but I know what I’m trying to say!)

I’m gagging to find out what’s new – normally there are loads of previews on the net, and interviews with key Adohe staff… and the UK’s magazing Computer Arts normally gets some early coverage, but nothing so far.

I want to know what’s new in the whole Video Bundle!!!
