I have just used Streamclip to convert the files to DV and it seems to do the trick. thanks again!

[James Bishop]

Yes I was thinking about possibly doing that. Thankyou very much for all the advice.

I don’t suppose you know anything about Roxio Toast aswell do you? I have one other problem. I tried burning a DVD several times and every time the audio seems to go slightly out of sync with the video. Do you have any idea why that might be?

[James Bishop]

Ok thanks for the advice.

Is that the only way of doing it?

Only the DV50 conversion option is in the ‘Advanced Format Conversions’ in my compressor, which I don’t seem to have access too.

In fact I have tried using my compressor before and I don’t think it works at all.

Is there any other software that can do the same thing?

And are you saying that their is no way of fixing this without re-doing all of the editing?

Best,
James

oh sorry i thought you were asking for the codec of the exported movie. yes the files i upload from my camera are mpg files.

the black bars at the top and bottom are just part of the widescreen bars. I just did a screenshot and cropped part of the clip

ok here are the item properties as it says in the edit menu:
Name: MPG
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Frame Size: 720×404

And the properties of the sequence:

Oh sorry yes its DV…

[James Bishop]

I don’t know what the codec is. It doesn’t say anything about a codec on the Movie Inspector. How do I find out what it is?

I have downloaded JES Interlacer. Once I have ‘put’ the file in what should I then do?

Thanks, James

[James Bishop]

Ok here is the info from Movie Inspector:

Format: 720×480. Millions 16bit integer (Big Endian). Stereo. 48khz
FPS: 29.97
Data Rate: 30.32 mbits/s

Yes I’m realising that now! I was hoping that I could just learn as I went along..

Where can find JES Dinterlacer?

Thanks very much for taking the time to help!
