Ha ha: )

It’s something I might consider under other circumstance , but on this job it just doesn’t make sense.
It’s a very short piece so I can’t imagine it’s that much.
Curious what would it be to upres a 5:40 piece?

thank you for the offer. I’ll keep you in mind for future projects, but on this one there just is no $$$.

Alright well you and Shane have convinced me that 720 is fine. It’ll be easier anyway.

Speaking of Purifier… I downloaded a demo copy but keep getting an error message when I try to import a clip:

“Video Purifier could not open file
frd: file not found. ”

It does this with ALL my video files… regardless of format. I’m running snow leopard… I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Well I guess I was just hoping to get the best possible image… even if it was only by a small margin.
I’m a little skeptical of compressor. I’ve always gotten sort of fair results. What about bitvice or Cinema Craft MP for upscale?

I didn’t realize it was so difficult in Avid. In FCP you can cut “online” 1920X1080 Avc-Intra @ 100MB/s very easily even with a firewire 800 drive… you don’t need any crazy expensive hardware to handle it or decode it.

Thanks for the link Shane : )

Yes I’m sure I can get the accepted specs from Discovery, the problem is I don’t have the job yet (knock on wood)… and since I have a limited amount of information (the title ect…) I wasn’t able to gain access to the Discovery PMD Production Guide which I’m sure outlines their requirements.

I would be totally shocked if they didn’t accept AVC-Intra shot on an HPX2000 or HPX3000.
Or XDCAM-HD shot on a Sony F700… but I just wanted to double check.

thanks again.

They own several Avids, so I highly doubt they’re going to switch to FCP.
I think the “problems” with Avid are most likely user error on their part.

thank you. did you bring the footage in via firewire?

Michael thank you.
I’m sorry to ask you this, but is there any way you could tell me exactly where to do this? The exact settings?

thank you Joe.

In order to get the correct 23.98 do you have to capture via firewire?? I’ve read that the “flagged frame information” is only being sent over firewire?
thank you,
Michael
