Thanks everyone. I appreciate it! I’m gonna have to get my hands on one of these pioneers.
would you say the quality surpasses software compression to DVD?
How does it stand up to say a big budget hollywood film DVD?

thank you,
Michael

I’m wondering though, what kind of programs the studios use to compress and author “hollywood movies”? They usually look so good? I understand obviously that they’ve been shot on 35mm and are lit well (most of the time)…. but it’s more than that.
Someone mentioned a 6 pass encode? that’s a lot… way more than 2 (compessor and others).
what kinds of programs do six pass?

Thanks Charles that’s good to know. I’m going to check it out now.
How do you think it stands up in quality?

So then the it does have to be parked on one of the ‘a’ frames?
I can’t just open the clip and go? (I tried that several times and it removed the interlaced lines)… I don’t know, perhaps I just got lucky.

The problem is many of our shots are “talking heads” … so there is very little motion.

thanks,
Michael

JeremyG,

Thank you very much for your detailed instructions!

It’s difficult to find the “a” frame (or the second progressive frame) in the footage? The window/viewer where footage is played in the Cinema Tools program is fairly small… so I can’t see the interlaced lines. Is there another way to tell that I’m on the right frame?

Also, I’m not sure if I understood one point. Does it matter where in the clip the playhead is parked? For example if perhaps it happens to be easier for me to see the interlaced lines at the end of the clip (allowing me to identify the “a” frame) will the reverse telecine still work?
thanks,
Michael

October 4, 2006 at 5:32 am in reply to: DVC-PRO HD 1080 23.98 DOWNCONVERSION to DVCAM via DSR-11

I probably wasn’t very clear. I wasn’t really concerned with the frame rate. I knew it would be converted… I just wasn’t sure how the hell to do it?
This is a theatrical piece so we’ll finish on HDCAM-SR and then it’ll be digitally projected. We just needed to get our project onto DVCAM period.
I figured out how to do it through the KONA card and I must say it looked pretty nice too!

Thanks!

Why is 23.98 (in this circumstance) wrong?
That’s what the footage is in it’s native form and that’s what the FCP sequence is too.

I tried that, but for some reason it wasn’t translating to the size. I must be doing something else wrong.
