Hi Gary,

We’re running P2 here at the station… I want to reiterate what Floh said. You need that original file structure from the P2 card. When we ingest, we mount the P2 card and ingest right from that. I think this is what your problem is. The M100 will copy those files to the media array that you specify in the preferences and then load them into the bin. I should recommend that when you import you turn off any unwanted audio channels in the import dialog (usually there are four) as they just add to the confusion…

Hope this helps.

Todd

Oh, man, can you make room on your soapbox for me? I agree with everything you said, but let me add that I’m starting to see DVD’s being sent as dubs in our market, too. I first noticed it in spots coming from out of market, namely Fresno, and come to find out DVD spot dubs seem to be a pretty common delivery format. Now, I’m not talking about a data delivery of a spot in some native NLE codec, I mean a DVD dub to play on home dvd players… not that I’m against DVD dubs, I do send them for client approval, but a spot dub they do not make for the same #1 and #2 reasons you stated above…

Having said all this, there has to be some common file format that can be used for FTP delivery in this day and age… I mean, Beta may still be an acceptable delivery format but that’s gonna end soon. I mentioned in a previous thread that we have a couple BetaSP decks still, but when they die – that’s it. No more. And with the Feb 2009 move to digital and HDTV, what are you gonna use to send out spots? And as to the IT people, we as producers and content creators may have to find a way to educate or circumvent that step in the process… that or watch your hard work pixelate before your eyes…

Very interested to see what comes of this thread… I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to do this on a local level for dubs between stations… I think whatever you do you’ll need to import into an NLE to get it into your station’s system. The native format of the station’s server would be the next bet, but then there are many options there… I’ve considered going with outputting to the Apple H.264 format at best quality, 30 or 29.97 frames as an interchange format and put spots up on an island server to avoid MIS issues…

Ok, same problem with the titles, old titles give an error, new titles work fine…

It must be something to do with the authorization of Boris Red…

Or perhaps it’s a misunderstanding on my part as to the inclusion of Boris Red 4.1 as part of the upgrade to Media 100 12.0.3 with Platinum Support… I thought Boris Red 4.1 was included, maybe they want an upgrade fee as well. My previous version of Red 4.0 worked fine with my HDx…

I think my next step is to contact Media 100 Support…

Not yet… I was waiting to see if anyone else had this problem before trying the Boris 4.2… Do you recommend that I do that upgrade?

Thanks for the quick response, Floh… M100 should put you on the payroll! 🙂

I hear you, Jeremy. Could be worse, they could want you to edit on a PC… The good thing is your systems are up, running and paying for themselves… That’s one one your side.

Thanks for the info…

Yes, I’ve been down the DLT road and been burned. Now I archive to DVD-r. I clean all unnecessary video out of the project including graphics renders (those can always be re-rendered)… BUT – that does not deal with the implications of P2, I’m still on DVCPro50 for the time being…

Forgot to mention, I’d like to talk about a scheme to move spots around town tapeless…
