Joy…I’m seeing this several years later. I’m curious, if the folder structure is gone and you’re copying an older C300 project with Contents and Clips folder to another drive…what are you doing if you don’t have the XML files…and just the MXF? Also, there’s the Index.MIF. Thank you.

No one?

Yes it is. You could always try Ebay for something used.

Hi Terry…the Sennheiser 416 is a great shotgun microphone…I’d highly recommend it. I’ve used that microphone on everything from sports to EFP. It’s never let me down.

Yeah…I said minimum, what I meant was average, my bad. I think I have this straightened out. I appreciate your help Bill and Michael thank you as well. I’m definitely going to check out BitVice.

Hi Bill…thanks for your response. Maybe my understanding about this is too limited because I’m a little confused. I went back into Compressor and was playing with some settings based on your comments. I entered in VBR 2 pass, with 4.5 minimum and 5.3 max. At the bottom of the screen it summarizes as saying this will allow up to 102 minutes/layer of video on DVD-5. (Initially I put in 4.8 but that yielded less minutes). I’m dealing with approximately 120 minutes in my show. That’s why I was entering in a lower bitrate. I definitely appreciate your input!

Hmmm interesting Steve. I wonder why the 277 is coming up. Anyway, I’ll have enough cards to cover myself…I wanted to see if I’d be able to fit the entire day in 2. Thanks.

Mark’s story made me laugh out loud…several times.
I would imagine everyone here has suffered some form of humility on a shoot. Mine came on a freelance shoot covering the grand opening of a defense contractor’s new headquarters here in Florida. I had the long lens camera on a very very small platform…no secondary platform for me to stand on…just one very tiny platform for me and the camera. Dignitaries, military, and elected officials all came in for this thing. Hell…I think their CEO flew in from Rome. 300 people in an extremely patriotic frenzy…I don’t know how many standing ovations took place. For 45 minutes I was fine…rock solid but being extremely cautious not to move my body around too much lest the camera get a little wobbly. That was my big mistake. I think I started to feel a little faint once the Colonel walked onto the stage and began his presentation. I did everything I could to fight it off……ohh, I’m leaving out a key detail here…to top things off my headsets weren’t working! I was told this by the engineer at the onset of the shoot…”You’ll be able to hear us just fine…but we won’t be able to hear you……” I didn’t even realize I had blacked out until I landed onto a table of 10 (I think a rather plumb woman buffered my fall). The fact that the barbeque hadn’t been served yet is one thing I’m grateful for. That could have been messy. Unfortunately the story doesn’t end there. Things literally STOPPED upon my fall. One minute I’m covering the show…the next I am the show. Surreal. A crowd gathered around me…PR people from the firm rushed over and called the paramedics. 20 years in the business and I had never experienced anything like this. The paramedics came in and tested my vitals…I was fine but they didn’t like the fact I had no color in my face. They wanted to get me to a hospital. I couldn’t believe this was happening. The PR people were about as nice as you could imagine…the engineer came out and said he thought it was a good idea. The director was assuring me it was the thing to do. Sooo…I reluctantly agreed. I figured I’d be able to walk out on my own and they could do their thing. Nooooo…they bring out a gurney and tell me they’re going to have to wheel me out on this. As I’m being carted out the Colonel stepped back on stage and addressed the hushed crowd in a rather reverent manner…..”His name is Scott Whitney….and he’s going to be just fine!” The place erupts into another standing O and the paramedics are chuckling to themselves. “Give them the thumbs up…you gotta give them the thumbs up…you got to.” And so I did. Turned out I was just fine…it was quite the day though. Something I won’t soon forget.
