Does the ADVC add setup? If not then the waveforms will be wrong for ntsc. Well not the waveform, which should show black = 0, but the signal itself.

Those settings are not inherent in the drive – they are inherent in the notebook’s connection to the drive. The desktop may be different either becuase of something you set up, or because of differences in setup by the manufacturer

Other things to check on the external drive – indexing (right click the drive) and restore (right click my computer) – both killers, both not needed on that drive.

I subsequently found something similar on the quicktime pages. Yse how to get paid – even at .25 per clip ( 1.99 is way too much for a TV show compared to the cost of a PVR and outputting to IPod format) is the trick. ( The broadcast flag may be here sooner than expected as a result ) And finding compelling video concepts not based on vast amounst of skin – which will surely sell well – is part 2 of the trick. Maybe do-it youself motor mechanics

There needs to be an mpeg 2 codec on teh computer as would be installed by any DVD playing app – WinDVD, Cylink etc

Did the drive letter of the drive change hen you mounted it this time? The project file includes the drive letter for every file it uses. The cfa files will recreate themselves.

you can deal with one of the audio tracks by linking it to the video. What codec creates 3 files

You could put the above mentioned Photoshop files into one folder. Name the files in such a way that they will be in the order used = a1, a2 etc, then import the whole folder. Automate to the time line in a track above your photos. Trim / lengthen as required. BUT, it takes as long to type in Photoshop as it does to type in the titler. And real titles do not need to be imported. Each import of a Photoshop file will require you to respond to the layer and footage prompts. Again, name the titles in the order they will be used and put them in their own bin so that they can also be automated to the timeline.
re alpha channel, anything typed on a transparent layer automatically has an alpha channel that will allow the video to show thorough the title.

CS2 has built in capability to generate photo galleries – a bit industrial but they work. For the basic infrastructure, use an ISP that provides a templated website ceation tool – I like bluegenesis.com and look.ca up here in canada, 1in1 seems comprehensive as well at reasonable costs. bluegenesis has a whoel slew of templates for phographers in fact. Disclaimer – I use bluegenesis for a few sites but that is all. IMNSHO, Dreamweaver is way to much work if you are only creating one website. Front page is less work, but overkill as well

Agree – export directly to MPEG DVD which will generate an m2v and a wav file. Then author in myDVD or DVDit or whatever came with your burner. Since the source was DV, exporting a file as DV avi, then opening a new project to export that as mpeg may save time especially if there are few transitions and you have previewed the whole project already. The quality of DV is 5 – 6 times better than DVD so little will be lost, and DV is the right speed and size. I can see no value and many many many headaches to creating an intermediary QT file in an XP environment.
