Thanks for all input thus far. I am thinking I might just ship this out to another facility
who handles these type of things. Accord Video in Miami is very good at standards conversions
and cost is not really an issue for me. I was just trying to broaden my scope a bit.

Some additional notes. The Master was edited on my DS Nitris and I will be either inputting
from Digital Betacam, OR I will export an uncompressed quicktime from DS and then import into FCP.
Don’t know if it will sense the edits or see the video as one clip.

As far as the “choppiness” (sp?) I have already alerted the client that there are some “gotchas” to
this process and they understand. Does it really look that bad or more like “film 24 fps”?

I might just send this nightmare away and concentrate on what I do best. Making coffee and taking out the trash.

Thanks for your input. Rick @ http://www.nakedeye.com
