I’ve also got Main Concept.
Funny, I always thought BitVice was the bees-knees, but then a few people around here told me about Episode and Main Concept. I’m just stuggling with them a bit at the moment. I’ve been spoiled with BitVice easy interface, but I’ll get there.
Thanks again guys.

Thanks Walter, when I do figure it out I’ll let you know the encoding quality of this compaired to BitVice and Compressor.

Hi Walter
I did try and follow the tutorial in the manual. But it is flawed in that from the beginning it explaines to choose… file, but that file does not exist in the place that the manual says it does. So I am stuck from the off.
So far the interface of this programme appears very complicated and cluttered compaired to Bitvice, but I want to persivear with it as I’ve heard it is the best thing for Mac in the world. Interface could do with some cleaning up though as I just can’t find my way around this programme.
I’m trying to get one of their tec guys to spend an hour on the phone with me exlianing it as I’m just not getting this programme at all.

Okay, in FCP when you save as QuickTime reference movie it does not have a file extention. When I put .mov at the end it works and Episode loads and encodes it. But, Episode then saves the final encode as a .ts file, which you can’t bring into DVDSP as it is incompatible?
Anyone give me a brief rundown on the basic workflow for this?
Cheers guys.

Not a bad monitor as it is fine as computer monitor via DVI

What is the best way to do this then?

Dell is fine via DVI, it is just total crap via Component.

I switched to Mac and FCP back at version 1.2. Before that I was using Premiere and Media Studio. All I can say is that it is like getting your sight back after been blind for 10 years.

Sorry Chris, didn’t mean to sound ungrateful. Do you have a link for Episode Pro as you think this is the best one; I assume it is Mac compatible?
Also, do you know anything of Main Concept Encoder 1.5 for Mac as someone else on here recomends that one.
Thanks again guys for help and advice.

Not sure if I’d want to go with the Main Concept. Those guys also make a Premiere plugin for Sony’s XDCAM HD format, only knowbody likes it or can get it working as it is buggy as hell.
Seems too cheap to be any good and I can’t believe that this product is better than Bitvice.
I don’t want speculation here guys, I need hard facts that have been tried and tested by people.
