Don’t think there is an issue. Just make sure that if you need to buy RAM, get some. It made a difference on mine. Increased it fro 4 GB to 8 GB and it was best thing for the laptop. Runs like a champ, especially with HD.

Have you tried anything besides a .wav file? Such as a .aiff?

Are you looking for the XDCam Plug-in? If so, here it is:

https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-xdcam/resource.downloads.bbsccms-assets-micro-xdcamex-downloads-LogTransferUtilityAppleFCP.shtml

If not, be more specific as to which type of plug-in from Sony you are looking for.

Was your sequence set for 25 fps or another rate?

Have you checked to see if you have permission on your hard drive to write to? You may want to check that. Go to your main hard drive, hit Command+I and unlock the drive (it will prompt you for a password) and make sure you have read+write permission.

This option is not available in Compressor, but is in Adobe Media Encoder.

June 21, 2012 at 4:01 pm in reply to: Converting PAL to NTSC using FCP, Compressor or iDVD?

Geoff,

There are many things wrong with this.

If you have PAL footage and need to make a final DVD that it NTSC, you need to convert it from 25 fps to 29.97 fps. As one does this, you are adding a frame to about every 4th to 5th frame. This then causes interlacing. Even if you make your streams in PAL and author it as NTSC in your software, the extra frames will occur either way.

If you have access to DVD Studio Pro or Adobe Encore, you can try to author it as PAL and set the region code to 1, which is Canada, United States, & Territories. You don’t have much flexibility with mixing with region codes and frame rates in iDVD.

If you take your streams and convert it to 29.97 fps, your video will look absolutely terrible. I would suggest outputting your streams as PAL and have some do a hardware conversion to make it NTSC. My signature has my contact info if you want more information about this.

Graham,

Anytime you mix frame rates, it’s going to be a pain. It’s better to remove frames than to add them. I would, if possible, export as 24 fps PAL instead. That way, any of your raw footage that is 24 fps won’t become interlaced when making it 25 fps.

Penny,

There can be many issues with this as the conversion from 29.97 to 23.98 is not recommended. With that conversion process, you are essentially removing a frame to have your video look like it was 23.98 fps. You can create a custom project to edit in the necessary frame rates; however, converting the frames that you need to may cause interlacing or playback issues on the final product. What is your final deliverable supposed to be?
