I agree with your assessment of the AJ-SPX800.
Question: Have you noticed the detail to be so great that when shooting a moving object with trees in the background that the effcet on video (DVD viewing) is ringing in the trees that stablizes when the pan/motion is stopped ?
It makes no difference if shooting 24p or 60o, progressive or interlaced.
IS the spx800 capable of upconverting a decent signal for BluRay, I have yet to try this but repordely many TV news operations use the technique with this camera for upconverting talking heads around true HD studio cameras for the talent.

I share your pain, I used to try and make AVID (Newscutter) edit 24p but AVID would only ingest my footage at 30i which messes the video up upon exporting to a QT ref file.
Here is what I would do now that you already shot it at 24p.
Edit on a AVID 30i time line,
Export from AVID as a QT ref file and import that file into Vegas 8 Pro and make the Vegas timeline 24p and once the QT file is imported into Vegas you change the clip properties (not the Vegas PROJECT timline) to 24p (progressive of course).
That way, your AVID timeline is transformed onto a Vegas Pro 8 24p timeline and then using Vegas encode the timeline to MPEG2 using the progressive widescreen (I assume that is what you shot it at ?).
When burned onto the DVD the DVD player will display the video as 24p.

Many thanks ! I had the same issue with my Dell 1210.

I had a similiar problem when my pulldown settings were wrong.

I end of up a good quality DVD if I shoot at 24p(advanced)in DV50 mode and then render out of Vegas at BEST MPEG-2 with VBR default setting for DVDarch. Then I burn the DVD at max bit rate of 9.8mb per sec. I found that moving the DVD burn bit rate to a lower level, such a 7mb a sec, would result in noticeable artifacts. By the way, the DV50 codec is such that lower 7mb DVD burn rate is unacceptable and will result in an error message.

Why does Vegas 7e render use as their DVD Arch default “upper field first” ? When the above forum note mentions DVD players using “lower field first” ?
Thanks

I shoot in DVCpro25 on a used spx800.
Playback from the P2 cards in the cam is perfect on the cam lcd.
However, after I copy the p2 files over to a dell xps and import the files into Vegas 7e, I get dropped frames on the Vegas timeline.
Project set at 23.97fps.
After rendering to MPEG2 for DVD burn via DVD Arch, tghe dropped frames are still there (of course).
I am using DV RAck HD to record DV25 onto an external USB 2.0 7200 160gb drive.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,

I use Raylight with Vegas 7e.
It allows you to drag a P2 DVCpro MXF file directly to the Vegas timeline. Without RayLight you would have to first convert all your P2 mxf files to avi. Raylight will do that too but I prefer to drag the raw mxf to the Vegas timeline. Yoy couls alos opt for HD Rack HD and that will allow the p2 mxf files to be converted during the actual capture to your PC’s hard drive.

I tried recording to P2 cards using an spx800 and have numerous dropped frames; 24p and 30p. I also tried recording to a PC, using DV Rack HD (latest version) and aqain, dropped frames. Using DVCpro50.
Any ideas where this problem comes from ?
Thanks,

I was thinking of this issue myself a few weeks ago when I was compelled to shoot some weather video while driving in a visually compelling downpour. Why not deliver the “voice-over” video, complete with natural-sound, to the Weather Channel via Web Delivery versus DVCpro which would make the video useless as it wouldn’t get there ’till the next day ?
Anyone know of a You-Tube-Like WWW site that caters to freelance shhoters who want their :30sec (:32 to black) VOs aired ?
Thanks, Patrick
