Hi Todd,

I’ve made simple comparison between the Samsung Galaxy 2 Camera and my GoPro:

I figured it was a rolling shutter issue also… But the shake in the samsung is so extreme I
figured it could also be a stabilizer issue that due to the specific vibrations makes the
footage go crazy.

Btw, the first shot is the Samsung (sometimes the shake is less significant because i lifted
up the tripod) and the second is the GoPro

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the response. Is the same true for my wireless set? I’m using a Sehnheiser EW 112-P G3 set with a ME 2 Clip-on microphone (omni directional).

Also, would you have any suggestions for a shotgun mic (and perhaps a lav mic) hat’s better suitable when on a limited budget.

I’ve been suggested a Sennheiser MKH 416 and for a lav mic a Tram TR50 but as far as the shotgun mic goes, that’s really stretching my budget. I don’t mind paying more than I did for the NTG2 (I should have known…) but this difference is slightly too big.

Lastly, when looking for microphones to use into conjunction with the ZOOM H4N, what specs should I look for so I know these mics won’t cause the same issue?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Best,
Robert

Hi Ty,

In general NTSC plays fine on PAL dvd players. I would say 99% of the times. The other way around I’ve had more issues.

Fact of the matter is that I’d rather not take any risks and create both deliverables. Which I can, my question is though, how to get the best quality for both these deliverables (without having to go to a professional company).

Just to add something to my previous question.

I actually need to make both a NTSC and a PAL mpeg2 for a DVD.

Does anyone recommend a certain workflow.

Just regarding NTSC I would normally just export to compressor (from FCP) and do DVD best quality 90 minutes. (sometimes I’d change the customize the bit rate and such). But still I felt that the quality left a lot to be desired.

I heard one person say that sometimes it works well to create another sequence in FCP (with the settings for a DVD) and then drop the original movie in that sequence, render, and then export. Does anybody have experience with this?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Best,
Robert
