Hi.
But do you know why is that ?
Some people used to say that Avid was good. I strongly disagree 🙂
You should have exact proof why stuff is not right for you then you’d know
what and why. If it is not too much for you then id test it out.
What i have seen mostly is that if you use wrong settings and do not get stuff to work
in 20 seconds then some people say it is not great. I’d say it is mostly human error or
just bad monitor specially for interlaced material. Most regular computer monitors are really
bad with interlaced material in the first place. Search cow for monitors and you should get
the right result or get hdmi decent tv with full hd. Downside with good lcd monitors is that really good monitor will cost a lot. I tend to make all my stuff in progressive and it serves me well and looks more movie like.Just some ideas.

Hi.
I do not know your budget but generally you could get Intensity Pro and have HDMI to DVI conversion peace between Intensity Pro and your monitor and it should do it. Audio you get out as SPDIF or analogue so for monitoring i’d say it is really great for its price. I have not used it myself but all descriptions say that it should be good for this and it is really cheap 🙂

Hi.
I have had some projects where material is sent out to colorist to use with SCRACH and he always asks for TIF or DPX so i have no way to send him speed effects. Always same shot with extra “handle” material. It does not make your life to easy but it gets done if you have worked out the work flow. Yes it is not fun to have extra material for 30 minutes but it is still possible to do it.
But as Shane sayed it is normal to have some “play” time with new work flow.

Hi.
You could use mini conveter Bob Z. once described but you loose control if i do remember right.
But if that does not matter so much then i’d go the converter way to get “HD” out of HDV.
Probably it does not make so big difference but “feels” better.I could not get the name of the converter out of my head right now but the results were really good in Bob’s blog.

Hi.
What i have done to “sync” vhs is i made pass trough tiny sony camera which has analogue in and firewire out.
It gave me nice stable picture but only by fw not directly to capture card. It seems really hard for pro gear to negotiate with vhs with it’s unstable picture.Hope it helps.
