Having a slightly similar, but perhaps very different issue…. and different results.
When taping a band yesterday, a drunken reveler knocked the Zoom onto the floor. I picked it up, thankful the mics hadn’t snapped off, when I noticed the impact had knocked the SD card out. I tried shoving it back in, but it wouldnt grab it, so I turned the power off, it took the card, then turned the power back on, and hit record again as fast as I could (this was all mid song, mind you)So, got the zero gigs on the file, did the disk image, when opening that in Audacity, get the second part, then a different show I recorded later that night……. then parts of shows long since deleted, shows from July. (I use this at least twice a week to tape shows, they were definitely deleted long ago)
Yet, I have a couple of files in a different folder that I KNOW are on the card still, they arent showing up. Changing the settings doesnt reveal any different portions of audio…. and, of course, the missing part before the encounter w/ the clumsy patron isnt showing up either…..
I would think it’s akin to others losing power…… the machine wasnt able to finish writing the WAV and put a header on it…. right?
-
yes, for some reason it is flipping it 90 degrees…..
-
just went and looked, and it does seem to have some kind of pulldown… definitely has the 3, 2 thing happening….
i’m sort of leaning towards a projector issue at this point….. which may be worse, really. -
is it possible that switching from vga to hdmi would have any impact?
-
Oh, sorry, should have mentioned….. it is just standard def DV, and (embarrassingly) I’m still on 6…

Bret- how would I go about adding interlaced pulldown?
(Unfortunately, when I started editing on all this, I was not made aware of the fact that I’d need to change sequence settings to edit progressive footage, so its not a matter of “wanting” to do a 30fps sequence, its a matter of thats was used.)I do know that, somehow, it IS possible for this footage to be projected w/o those artifacts, whatever is causing them, w/ simply a prores export because it was done before. A shorter version of the project was shown w/ the same settings and looked fine (unfortunately, I cannot get ahold of the projectionist who did so).

Sorry I havent gotten back in a couple days….
I checked, and the sequence is already set to Lower First.And, perhaps in a gross oversight on my part, I realized I did not check the actual burned DVD on the computer, just the exported quicktime file.
The DVD is doing the same thing…… (could it have something to do w/ making it w/ iDVD?)
The mouths moving doesnt seem to cause it, it appears to be left and right movements, if that narrows anything downfrom the computer, playing the DVD-
Also, whats the FC Help you’re talking about? Here, on CC? I must be a bigger idiot than I thought, cause I cant seem to locate it…
I get the basic theory of interlacing, fields, etc, I’m getting hung up trying to get my mind around progressive/ true progressive/etc. I thought that progressive skirted that problem. Clearly, it has its own. -
what’s a Lower First sequence?

David, the sequence is 29.97. I dont know how to check if its TRUE 24p, I would sort of guess not. I shot on a DVX100, if that narrows it down….
Unfortunately, I dont have any way to monitor right now. The only accessible one is a rental, and booked. I knew not having one would be a problem, but I was thinking it was going to be because of the still images, never would I think I’d be having problems w/ the interviews.
When I began this, it was for a class, and the professor advised going 24p if we were worried about running into interlacing issues….. I found out later that she didnt have the foggiest idea herself….

Yikes! Not really the answer I was looking for haha
You said no easy fix…… is there a hard fix? Would changing the sequence settings help or hurt? Short of re-importing all the interviews, I’m not afraid of time intensive, tedious, eye burning, bs.. if it will help.
