Download GSpot, a very handy free utility that will give you all sorts of info about a media file.
Your problem may stem from compression->re-compression.

How are you exporting out of AfterEffects? What codec? (AVI is not a codec…). What are your project settings in AfterEffects (pixel size, aspect ratio, and frame rate)?

Clyde– That is the best way: testing! Props to you for being willing to try a couple variations. So many people seem to want the quick fix, when we are all engaged in “researching” a lot of the time.

Film cameras can shoot at 24.000 FPS. Video, is of course, typically 23.98. Audio programs also need to make a distinction between 24.00 and 23.98 for obvious reasons. I have not used the Premiere 24P preset to know which Premiere uses…
Sorry to say I have not used a 24P timeline out to 29.97 in Premiere either, but in a compositing program you usually just check a “add 3:2 pulldown” box. Have you tried authoring to a 24P (OK, 23.98P) DVD and see how the player interprets it? That might give you the best results.

2 possibilities:
Is your “24P” consistently 23.98P ?
Or is it actually true 24P at times?Also– to get to 29.97, you will have to introduce 3:2 pulldown, and I believe you will have to explicitly do this.

3D animators would also be a good market to sell to. (I know I’d like one!) The PC side might have a slight edge in that case.

Adobe Premiere Pro.
Possibly Sony Vegas (not sure of current AJA support).
Either of those (and there are probably others) will enable tape/file logging, batch capture, etc.
The Machina app is mainly for quick, one-off clip grabs.-Jeff

That sounds about right for an uncompressed version of 1080i. It runs at a little over 200 MB per second, so doing the math gives about 120 GB per 10 minutes.
Regarding your deliverables, does “most” computers for QTime mean most recent ones? Use H.264, at a moderate data rate (maybe 1000 K(bits)ps), and a frame size that seems compatible. Testing will be required. If it means older computers as well, you may need to try a less demanding playback codec.
DVD-video has a maximum data rate of about 9 Mbps for the audio/video portion. You probably can’t see a difference over 7 Mbps, even with fixed-rate. How much will fit depends on how long your video is (math may be required). And, to be accurate, you will actually downsample to 480i. 720 is still HD.

Hi Dennis,
I guess by now you have seen this:Kona cross-platform support for CS5
So, it looks like soon, but not yet…

Ann has pointed the right direction:
It does not matter what the monitor resolution is. What is the PLAYBACK DEVICE? That is what determines mastering resolution.-Jeff
