OK, I setup the easy settings, and double checked the deck, it is in remote and the component cables are definitely plugged in correctly. What does it mean that there is a red line extending from the analogue triangle on the left of the Kona control panel?

Yes, ideally the footage would be progressive, but in this case it is not. It is a program edited somewhere else and sent to me on a Beta tape. I am captuing into the Avid at 2:1. It is definitely interlaced to begin with. So is it right to tell the client that they CANNOT have a dvd from that that will look clean on both a TV and a computer?

Or do you mean that if they send it from their dvd player to their tv via a different cable (svideo, composite rca, component) they will see different results? Because it actually looks fine on the TV, just not on the computer which is how most of the end users will be viewing it.

Sorry for all the questions, I’m lost. Would using the FCP-DVDSP workflow solve my problems?

Also…will it help if I run the footage through a deinterlacer like Magic Bullet or ReelSmart Fields Kit? Then treat it like progressive footage?

Also, is the problem the Avid-Sorenson-Encore workflow? One crazy idea i had was to layoff the program to a DV tape and digitize via firewire into my other PC which has premiere. From there I can export right to Encore. I’ve done that many times and never had field issues, but there will be a quality loss going from Beta to DVCam.

Just a thought.

I don’t ever use marquee (it scares me) but I can answer the second question.
I would leave the Version 1 backup on the backup drive. Then with the new version, consolidate it and back it up seperately. That way, if you need all the media, it’s still there from your first backup, and if you just need the second version it’s available quickly. Also, you could consolidate any newly digitized footage with the Version 2 backup.

Thanks everyone. I guess it’s Cinema 4d then. I’ve just downloaded the demo, and so far it seems pretty cool. Scary, but cool.

Thanks, I’ll do that. Also, (I’m dumb) I just figured out that obviously a DVD is 720×480 at 72dpi and that’s going to look low res on a computer screen no matter what I do. It looks O.K. in a window, but when you view full screen, it looks pretty bad. I can’t believe how long it took me to figure this out.
