I found out that you can’t. No CAC files. But there is some “lensware” available for some lenses, not for ENG lenses though.

Hi,

You can also buy a b4 to mtf adaptor and use (old) ENG lenses.

You will need a lens with extender and still the corners will be a bit unsharp. Because the ENG lenses are not meant to be on a large sensor camera.
But it is a cheap way to have a long lens on your af101.
I use an old 9-108 mm fujinon lens and it turns out to be a 35-200mm lens on a af101. (more or less)
And you can still use a mattebox, because it doesn’t extend to much.

Hi Martin,

So it would work on a (3ccd) dvx100b with letus adapter for example, but not on a AF101? What happens to the colors then?

I have a AF101 and I use (zeiss CP2)prime lenses. So if I want to get a close up I have change the lens or chsnge the set. When shooting documentary style or ENG this poses some problems. I use a mattebox and filters a lot, so I’m looking for a lens solution. The problem is that most zoomlensen extend, and the ones that don’t are way too expensive for me (starting at $20,000.-). An old ENG lens (SD or HD) looked to me as a good solution for these problems.

What would you suggest?
Thanks

Your question is almost already the solution,

PAR is D1/pal (1.067)the exported frame from Premiere. It should be something else i guess.

Thanks

Thanks, at least i stop trying.

Thanks for the info.

At least communists did not like choice! You just drive a Lada or nothing, nothing else. No confusions or difficult choices and no artists making programmers life misarable!
Anyway,

I am editing in premiere and made the complete image there (a video frame and the buttons, wich are no buttons but video, they just look like buttons)
Then used only “empty” buttons in encore (exept highlights). I used a blank menu basis and replaced with the audio and video wich i made in premiere (including the visuals for buttons). Then I exported the video in different file sizes, but encore did not matter; it made bigger files from small ones for example.

So, if I understand you correctly; I have to export from premiere as a mpeg2 in a lower resolution (so the file gets smaller) and then the total menu filesize will get smaller because encore does not have to transcode it again?

Interesting solution, I’m going to try that.

Thanks

Well, I think I just have to live with this communist 1G border.

Is there a way making motion menu’s smaller? it looks like you can’t. I’ve tried importing several filesizes video, but the length of the video seems to be the bottleneck, not the file itself. Like the menu’s have their own (unadjustable) compression. Or am I overlooking a possibility?

Thanks

Glad you hair will be longer with you, but mine is still falling out.

My question; what if you want larger menu’s, larger than 1G? That’s what I want, only menu’s. Sounds a little strange, but I want my menu’s with moving image, so one can change to an other video while the first is still running. So in fact I’m making my dvd only with menu’s.

Any idea?
