    Your friend is right about mv2 being mpeg2. The way I encode mv2s is to export a ref file from FCP. Then I use Compressor or BitVice to make the mv2 from that file. At the same time, you also export an aiff audio file of the program and use Compressor to make that an ac3. Then both the mv2 and ac3 are married together in DVDSP or another DVD authoring program. At that point you can hear the audio.

    If the audio meters are not moving, check to see if you inadvertently muted your tracks.

  • Another thought is to take the downconverted SD from the Kona card and send it directly to the hardware encoder. This would work if the Kona card (via FCP) is able to control the hardware encoder with RS-422.

    Here’s an excellent article on encoding practice. It’s definitely worth reading.

  • I second Nates suggestion about the HPX500. We’ve had one about a year and couldn’t be happier. The savings between that cam and a 3000 will buy you a lot of additional gear as suggested by David.

    However, as far as P2 goes, once you treat it as an IT workflow, you can be safe. Tape or film can burn up, be stolen, etc. Files stored in multiple locations are more secure IMO. In a year of P2 shooting we’ve had no issues. The workflow is considerably faster than tape, particularly when injesting selects, since you capture faster than real time from P2 media.

    We have produced a number of projects in DVC Pro HD. We have a setup similar to yours with 2 Cinema displays. We have used one of the displays with a MXO to monitor HD which worked rather well, but there are times we really need the screen real estate and so we’re upgrading to a Mac Pro with Kona3 and TV-Logic monitor.

    We intend to produce everything in HD, even though most of our clients currently request SD relesaes. We see that changing over the next few years, so client archives will be compatible with HD releases in the future.

    Good luck with your decisions.

    Imagine Products P2Log and HD Log can repair P2 cards – sometimes. I don’t know if their demos let you try that functionality.
