Hey thanks for the quick response Shane. I figured as much about the Dazzle but thought it was worth a try. I do have a DV camera: a Canon Optura 20. I don’t know if it will work through the camera but maybe through a VCR. I guess it’s worth a try though the canopus might be easier and more useful in the long run.

If I was going to go through the DV camera what would the workflow be?

Felipe-
It’s funny you should mention de-interlacing the footage because this is what I initially ended up doing. Basically, the native-interlaced footage was not playing as well as I would have liked in DVD form on an HD television so I de-interlaced in FCP and then authored. Michael is right – this is not a “smart” or traditional way of doing things but it worked for me. I agree though – there is some quality loss I think in the colors and sharpness. However, the BEST way I found to do this is go directly out of FCP with your interlaced files through compressor or sorenson – this DVD looks better than the de-interlaced one. Just drag the Best Quality DVD Studio Pro settings onto your project file.

Thanks for the fast response Rick. So you’re saying that I need to have this Helium.frameworks folder in my frameworks folder?? It’s not there. I don’t know anyone else who has working FCS 1. Is there another way of getting a hold of this folder?

I apologize Michael I should have searched first. Thanks for the quick response nevertheless. If you get a chance to calculate, my TRT is 00:12:13. For some reason my compressor isnt working. I get an error message that says unable to process background. Maybe I need to reinstall the software?

WHAT??! That’s absurd. How am I supposed to know if my audio is ready to be mixed down if I can’t hear it all together?

Ty, Soundtrack worked pretty well, I was able to cancel out a lot of the generator noise with the High Pass Filter and the Denoiser, however, the dialogue is a little too quiet now, any other suggestions, what do you think of Brian’s invertion option?
