Yes, it supports Super White at the 75% setting – just tried it to be totally sure.

Lu, since when was PhotoJPEG only RGB. It is both YCbCr and RGB depending upon quality setting. At 75% it’s Y’CbCr and at 100% it’s RGB.

DigiBeta is very lightly compressed, so noise removal should work great. I was testing with some DVCproHD and when the noise is gone, you saw the DCT codec artifacts left behind.

I was talking about PAL in general, as 50i, needing a great deinterlacer to get a film look. If you’ve got the capability to shoot 25p, then you don’t need a deinterlacer. Sorry for the confusion.

You’re probably fine with PJP75%. However, as I’m investigating noise removal, I’m finding that when you remove noise, you make compression artfacts in the noisey source more visible. Noise can be good as it hides 8bit banding and compression artifacts.

Yes, you just need a very high quality de-interlacer in PAL.

Turn on high quality motion filtering in the timeline.

2:3 is ideal for video, timeline is 29.97fps, capture as Normal NTSC DV.

For DV/DVCAM, the Sony DSR-11 and DSR-25 are both dual standard, in that they can play or record PAL or NTSC. They cannot convert between them, but they do function as a great deck for either standard. There’s a little switch on the back which flips you between operating in each standard. They work great with FCP.
Affordable hardware standards converters tend to be poor, mostly designed with VHS in mind. Great converters like the Snell & Wilcox Alchemist are super and terribly expensive.
I make a software converter for FCP that’s not quite in the same league as the Alchemist, but it’s very, very good, and quite fast considering what it’s doing. You should try the demo and see.
Also, I’d guess all Australian DVD players will play NTSC, and TVs there too will accept NTSC, so no conversion might be necessary.

I checked with Charles Poynton about this last week, and it does seem that my interpretation is correct, but as I’ve also said to Walter Graff, the nomenclature is bust, broken and subverted, and needs fixing. We just can’t figure what the best “fix” would be, but we’re thinking on it!
