Hi Danny,

Thank you for your response. I need the subtitles to be readable from a BluRay DVD with a BluRay player when subtitles are activated with the remote. The videos are 29.97. With what you’ve mentioned, do I need to convert my SCC files to FAB? If so, is there a (hopefully free) converter for MAC that you’d recommend?

Thanks again,

– James

I’ve got the new Mac Pro, decked out pretty nicely. Tried both HDMI and DVI-D cable (with adapter from a Thunderbolt port) and my external monitor plays back the same on both, it’s like it’s ok at times, but looks like it drops frames or like it’s playing at a lower frame rate.

I changed the playback to “Software Only” and that hasn’t seemed to change anything. Is there something I’m doing wrong with this?

Good to know. I’m just being brought in on a project where they have a sequence at 29.97 (1920×1080), but footage that ranges from 24p, 30p, 60i and SD 29.97. Didn’t see anything that looked messed up when watching in the timeline – except for the SD stuff, saw interlacing on a few shots – just had a sick feeling that upon exporting after color correction that it would raise issues.

The graphics guy is currently working on everything before sending us final files. Delivery to broadcast is 29.97 so I assume it’d be best to conform everything to that – and have the graphics guy send me files at 29.97 as well.

Is there anything I may be missing here that I should be looking for moving forward with my work to finish this project off?
