Correction and update: Frame-by-frame scrubbing of master tape reveals that of 5 frames, frame 4 and 5 are duplicated (identical). I spoke with Cindy at Intersound and she said that this problem has hapened before when the master started with a D5 converted to a Digibeta converted to a DVCAM. She will speak with another client who had the same problem and get back to me.

Thanks Mike for that extra info. Yep. This is the anime feature film – “Robotech The Shadow Chronicles”, that was originally created at 24P. I’m directing, shooting, and editing the “making-of” documentary “Birth Of A Sequel” starring the voice talents of Mark Hamill and Chase Masterson of Deep Space 9 (shameless plug there). I find your experience rather interesting in that only some tapes have this problem. My guess on that is that it has to do with frame rate conversion in the dub process? I’m stuck with doing a work around ’cause getting tech support from Technicolor might not happen in time. 🙁

Source tape looks fine in monitor (Sony PVM 14L5 Multiformat). It’s after capturing that we see the 2 frames in 5 interlaced. We tried capturing with a 4:2:2 setting today. With that we get no interlacing but we get frames ABCDD, that is to say that every fourth frame is duplicated.

Thanks guys. Still no luck. Our source tape is 29.97 fps according to Intersound, Hwd. who ordered the dub. We know to set capture at lower even field. The dub was made at Technicolor (Cindy) and we can’t get her to respond for troubleshooting, i.e. confirm tape format. We know it’s something in our capture settings because frame by frame scrubbing of the source tape shows no interlacing. Any other ideas? Thanks! – Keithmax
