[Rob Kopf] “I hate to bother you. But I’d really like to be able to contact them. I’m ready to buy the product based on your recommendation, but would really like to try it once first, to see what results I can expect. Have you contacted them yet? No reply?
“Got a mail from them that they have changed their code, and now your mail address should work. Their server has been under some sort of hacking attack for quite a while, so they had to create some security barriers, it seems. They are now trying it without the email verification for some time to see how this works for them. So give it a try…

From looking at your project file, it seems like your codec setup is not correct. I am not sure about the field order of 1080i29.97 footage, but I think it is upper field first. The source is interpreted as upper, the render settings are set to upper, but in the codec selection (Output Module->Format Options) the Media 100 HD codec is set to Lower field First. I think if you change that to upper field first you should be good to go.

[Danielle DeLucia] “Is anyone else getting this result, or if you are getting good results with these programs, what are you doing? My Media 100 Producer is v12.1.1. Is there an update I should look for? Any info or help you could provide would be much appreciated.
“There should be a 12.6 update for Producer.
Instead of exporting as self-contained you could try exporting as a DV-Stream, with 0-255 (Computer) colorspace to see if this makes a difference. Not sure what is going on there, though.

Sounds good. If you are going in via Component or HD-SDI you will end up with 1920*1080 files. You could try rendering to a different codec (e.g. MJPEG-B) to see if this changes your field order issue. Or you could send me an AE project to have a look at it.

My contact at Innobits is currently not in the office, but he promised me to get back to you as soon as he is back.

[Mike Lemoniades] “Thank You! I’ve been trying to work this issue out with tech support for about 6 months. Your solution worked perfectly.

[Matt Jones] “Imported into AE8, added overlays and other GX
Rendered out as M100HD with lower field first and the footage looks like it has a field order problem. It looks like it’s studdering. “Have you interpreted your incoming material in AE correctly (field order)? How do you create your comps? Do you use the correct framesizes?
Do you work in SD or in HD? -
Most likely your source footage is 720*486, while DVDs are 720*480. iDVD scales 720*486 to 480 instead of cropping it, introducing field artifacts. One thing you could try is to export your timeline as a DV stream (0-255 colorspace), which should be 720*480 and therefore not show the problems in iDVD.

[Chris Abolt] “Is it possible there is a conflict still happening on this system with previous FCP KONA DRIVERS? “
Of course this is possible. But I would recommend (after installing Media 100) to download and install the Kona3 5.1NDD drivers again. Maybe you had an older/wrong version of the drivers installed, which cause your problems.

Your SD 16:9 program is 720*576 pixels (with a widescreen pixel aspect ratio), while your Quicktime file is 1024*576 (which is widescreen with a square pixel aspect ratio). So on import the 1024 file gets converted to 720, which probably is where your problems happen. One thing is that you should check if your Render Codec options are set correctly (it could be that your source file gets heavily compressed on import). Otherwise it simply could be that the scaling algorithms are not optimal for this import. If you have e.g. AfterEffects (or RED or Shake), you can do the scaling there, which should look better than the import scaler. Or you cacn ask your graphics house to provide a 720*576 (but 16:9 widescreen) render of their animation, which depending on their workflow probably would create the cleanest result.
