I just tried the 5DtoRGB and the same issue is there. Since this is not an interlace issue and it doesn’t always happen but I often film nature sequences, are there things to keep in mind that will minimize possibilities of artifacting on DSLR forest filming?

And would it have made any difference if I were somehow able to monitor the video playback in 1080p
at 29.97 instead of 1080i 59.94?

I appreciate your responses very much.

The sharpness on the Sony is at minimum. But yes, it also shows up on some foliage, which sometimes comes out a little clumpy.

Is this something that a frame rate like 29.97 rather than 23.98 will accentuate on the DSLR? I agree that there’s no use changing the monitor settings.

Shane, I just downloaded 5DtoRGB and I’ll try that as well.

Sorry, here’s a correct screenshot post (I hope).

Hi Alex,

Here’s a screenshot example from my computer monitor. On the Sony Bravia the small branch horizontal lines are more distinct.

I’m using the Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme card via HDMI. The video Playback setting is Blackmagic HD 1080i 59.94 – 8 Bit (1920×1080). There doesn’t seem to be a 29.97 1080p option.

I should add re “copying the folder” that the folder I’m transferring from is not on an extended HD, but already on my Mac Pro. So I’m not sure of the difference?

Can I fix the directory structure so it supports the media. The names of the files are the original H264 that were downloaded to the Canon Image Browser and they are in correct sequential order without any files missing from that day’s shoot.

I appreciate your feedback on this issue.

[Enrico Lappano]

Thanks for the tutorial Shane.

When I go to Log & Transfer and try to import the H264 files from the folder of that shoot, a warning window appears saying, “contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.”
In your tutorial you mention that when downloading the original SD card, everything on the card must be included. But because it was a while ago, I may have only downloaded selected files from only that shoot and not stuff that was not erased and recorded before.

You mention copying the folder. Would that still work?

Thanks for replying Michael. When I play the DVD on my Mac DVD Player, it says region 1 naturally, but there is no other info covering other regions numbers in the world.

If there’s no way to access info from the disc, I’ll be hoping then that the authoring company might somehow still have it on file.

[Enrico Lappano]

The DVD was professionally authored in North America. In the info for the disc it says that the format is Universal Disk Format (UDF). Would this play in the UK and across Europe on computers and DVD players?

[Enrico Lappano]

Thanks Michael. That’s great news. When you say to make sure all the region codes are selected, where is that done?

[Enrico Lappano]

Wow. The difference between the two is dramatic. And I do notice those inconsistencies while editing with it. When it slows, the only thing that helps is restarting FCP. Think I’m going back to FW Lacies and exchanging the USB drive.

Thanks very much for your replies, analysis and helping to settle this so clearly.
