[Jason Jenkins] “may want” so the question is do you want to be safe. If you need to be safe you have to shoot to protect 4:3 framing. You are not doing anything to the actual image, you are just making sure that if you do crop your important stuff is in the center part of the screen. Cameras like the HVX200 actual have guide markers you can turn on for this (the higher camera probably have this also) so once again you are not doing anything to the source, letterboxing or center cropping (Pan and Scan) are both done after the final edit.

The only time you cannot record to both is when recording in 720p PN modes. Firewire does not support anything that is not “over 60.” Everything else works fine, all 1080 and SD settings as well as the other 720P settings.
Sometimes overkill is nice 🙂 !

DVCProHD 720p 23.98 so be your sequence setting if you are shooting that format.

Normally footage is shoot at 1 frame every minute or so. Then you capture that and normally still speed it up. So if you recorded over 9 hours you would have 18 minutes of footage (540 frames) So if you wanted to have it play in 90 seconds you would speed it up 1200%.
So if you have real time footage you would want to leave just one frame every minute or two, simply cut out 29 frames, close gap, frame ahead one, remove 29 frames, close gap and so on. Export this as a self contained movie, bring it back in and speed it up to desired duration and you have a perfect time lapse, no frame blending is ever needed.

Google “DVD Ripper” or “DVD DeMuxer”

the Copy Protection warning is most likely the player thinking it has MacroVision on it which is a copyright protection that is added to retail VHS (and DVDs) that prevent unauthorized duplication of their titles. If this machine will play the tapes fine when you are not trying to record them and this is what is kicking in when you do. Why it is doing this is a question for a service center. Normal equipment like this has no way for uses to load software or firmware to them.
Not sure why trying different tapes and ruining a couple more DVDs would be a big deal, DVD-Rs are between 20 and 35 cents.

Is the timecode of the captured clip reverting back to 00 like it is not what the TC on the tape is? Or is each clip on the tapes starting at 00?

You do realize that this can only be played on BluRay DVD players or HD DVD players (if you use DVDSP to make it a HD DVD on a DVD-R) THis will also play on higher end Mac G5s and Intel Macs.

Any place you add transitions, effect or filters will get re-compressed. This is the case with all codec but this is why codecs with heavy compression are not the first choice of many.
But before you worry to much about it you should make a test encode and see if the quality is acceptable to you and your client.

Every time you change the codec you are doing through a compression phase.
