I received my training and certification this way in 2005 at NAB+ in NY. FMC is great, I highly recommend them….I took my tests down here in Miami after. I saved a lot of money by doing this too…I got in NAB at a student rate and saved probably close to 2k had I gone to FMC on my own.

I did not know that a television will compensate for a 16×9 DVD.

What do you suggest as far as digital delivery? If it has to be 4×3 should I crop the sides?

What if I can’t know the type of DVD player the client will be using…which is the best setting to use?

How come I am getting these interlacing problems even when I am outputting progressive?

The client does not like the wide screen unfortunately…they prefer the 4×3 letterbox.

Do you think that compressor does a better job of scaling and interlacing?

DVDs can support a progressive source am I right?

I actually was just speaking to a tech at DG about having the capability to do this in Episode…and they have no clue as to how. If you are able to pull this off, you will be a God among Men!

He also mentioned a new system they are implementing soon (about a month or a few) that will automate most of these processes on the back end so that we dont have to worry about most of the compression settings.

Please keep us updated

No, compressor cannot do the job unfortunately. It can’t render an mpeg with 4:2:2 color space and make the frame size the required 720×512. We had to buy Episode from flip4mac.com to get certified.

I have downloaded Episode from flip4mac.com. This is what DG has recommended. They will even send you a preset if you ask them…so far it seems like a great program, still waiting for test results though. I would contact Rafael at the Dallas office, he knows what he’s doing.

I am looking into this drive. How are transfer speeds?
