right you are… i didn’t bother using the dv option because the preview looked awful, but the output looks fine. thanks for the help charles.

we actually just use vlc because of the common codec library – generally, if a file plays with vlc on one of our macs, it will also play on our windows machines.
basically i just need a quicktime component that will write dv25 to a .avi file. it seems like this is one of those things that there’s so little demand for that nobody’s gotten around to it… looks like the only free solution is go do it on a windows box with mpeg streamclip… which is no big deal, it’s just an annoyance since i’m working on a mac.

yup… i’m an idiot. i wasn’t viewing at 100%.
quirky for sure… thanks captainmench!

“QT will play back the interlaced frames if in the preferences you have the little hidden box checked next to playback at high quality”
yes – this is exactly what i need to see in final cut..! we’re fortunate enough to be working with some very talented effects folks, but they are unfamiliar with working on 24p normal footage since it’s sort of an amateur format… they’d like to be able to see the actual frames that will be rendered rather than the duplicates final cut pro is showing..!
is there an equivalent setting to quicktime’s ‘high quality’ in final cut pro that will show the true interlaced frames..? nothing i’ve done under playback control has gotten any results…

That may be the case for 24p normal footage, which I don’t have in front of me right now (but will try enlarging when I get home)… what I’m working with right now is actually telecine footage – which uses the same 3:2 pulldown pattern, right? What I’m getting in Final Cut Pro are back-to-back identical frames… you can see slight luma/chroma changes between the frames, but the composition remains the same (so they look like analog copies of the same frame – the footage has been pulled from BetaSP).
Am I confusing the issue by expecting telecine footage from a BetaSP tape to look the same as 24p normal footage shot on DV?

Go to audio/video settings -> capture presets and choose “DV NTSC 32 kHz” as your preset. If that’s not available, just edit your DV NTSC preset… at the bottom of the editor you’ll find “Quicktime Audio Settings”… you can select 32 kHz there.

the footage is on DVCPRO tapes, so we have to use a deck that reads DVCPRO…
i’ve run into the same thing now capturing betacam sp… i’m guessing the problematic footage is just recorded off a broadcast or in some way that degraded it… it’s for low-res use anyway so i’ve just been scaling up by 2% to squeeze the junk out of the frame and the compressed stuff looks fine.

unfortunately not… we’re stuck with this deck til the rental house gets an sd930 in…
