Yes, and it will do 23.98fps to 24.00fps and 24.00fps to 23.98fps very rapidly (no time at all really).

Take clip to cinema tools. Hit conform. Select 23.98fps. Done. Repeat as necessary.

That’s a superb summary Ron. Although, even in your example I’d say using a camera would be a illegal device that is being used to circumvent copy protection. Ludicrous, I know. Recently, there’s been some improvements in DMCA issues where some more exceptions have been granted, so there is a bit of hope for the future. What a daft world we live in 🙂

I’m actually very concerned about copyright infingement as a writer, inventor and software developer. However, I’m also a user of content, and I detest the way that, for instance, DVDs have been locked to prevent legitmate usage in another country. After all, pirates don’t have these problems, and people who buy pirate discs don’t have these problems, but legit users who pay real money for them do. Legit payed up users can’t copy a DVD to their iPod, but people who have a pirate DVD have no bother doing this at all. Software for ripping DVDs can indeed be used for making pirate copies, but by far and a way the vast use for them is for shifting media to portable formats from legitmately purchased discs, just like how iTunes makes it very easy to put your legitimately purchased CDs onto your iPod. The HD-DVD software mentioned above was created because a legitimately purchased disc could be watched in HD on an HD monitor, because the monitor used was a slightly older one that won’t “handshake” with the computer and through all that obnoxious DRM.
I have no objection to your stance on software or hardware that could potentially be used to copy media, but I personally feel that, you should extend that objection to all such devices and software, even the faceously silly ones.

Better not tell people where to buy VCRs in case they tape something off the telly then? And let’s crack down on photocopiers while we’re on. Practically all digital technology has infringing and non-infringing uses. It’s up to the individual user to decide whether what they intend to do with the software is naughty or not.

Don’t you mean “an online guide to taking back your fair use rights to make a backup and to watch your purchased media on your choice of equipment?”

32bit float makes a great difference when you start using muliple filters on a clip though.

I’m told that YCbCr high precision mode and 10bit are 32bit float. That’s why they’re so blinkin slow.

486 is not evenly divisible by 8, and the DV codec uses 8×8 blocks. You can get around this, but it would have made the codec chips more complex, and as those lines are in the overscan and never seen anyway….

compressed 2k is not too bad on FCP – use PhotoJPEG for your timeline codec perhaps? Kona will ourput 2k to an HD monitor, and we’ve used that at RED for viewing 2k downconverts quite nicely.
I’d probably see if you can get the project to a place that specialised in DI for filmout, and put it through their workflow, as how else will you have any idea what it will look like in the cinema?
