If you don’t need the sounds, you can capture via the AIC method codec. If you need sound sync you need tools like Lumiere.

That’s fine Andy. As long as you’re not simulataneously using, you’re ok legally. However, you could just ask your college to buy a licence for every FCP they have, and that would make me very very happy! 🙂 WOuld be cheaper and easier for you too. Or are my plugins your secret weapon to make your video look better than the other student’s?
You may need to have some kind of admin access to install them, so try out the demo first to make sure you can do that.

The easiest thing to do to keep your “right” is just to buy as many copies as you need. However, I have no objection to one copy being used on multiple systems as long as those systems are not being used concurrently. For example, if you have a laptop and a desktop with FCP on it, and you only use one at a time, and while you’re using the laptop, nobody else is editing on the desktop, or the other way around, then I’m happy to sell you just one copy. If you have multiple edit stations and say you render on one, while editing on the other, you shoudl buy enough copies of my plugins to cover this multiple usage.
Does that help?

Understood! Hope you’re feeling a lot better Jan.

Very interesting. Only issue I have is the only papers I’ve read on pixelshift give a root 2 (1.414) theoretical max resolution improvement for 1 shift, and the BBC paper I read gave a practical 1.3 figure, not the 1.5 quoted by Panasonic.

Try any of the “fast” presets, perhaps the “60minute” one?

Try single pass CRB. VBR is broken in latest compressor is it not?

Both PAL and NTSC DV are lower. In compressor, it’s wise to tell it that the incomming video is lower (if that’s what it is) as it can often guess wrong. Also, be sure to test what the NTSC looks like before making an MPEG2, and if you need me to help with that, if you don’t have NTSC monitoring equipment, get in touch.

Does capturing VHS at 10bit uncompressed make it look any better? No.
DV is DV is DV, and taking a digital video format over an analogue link can only reduce quality.
Especially if you’re mastering back to DV, you really want to avoid analogue.
With DV the compression is done in the camera at shooting time. Transfer over firewire is just that, a transfer of the as-shot data. You can’t get any better than that – it’s a perfect transfer of what’s on tape.
