[Steve Mann] “The only way you can get two different IRQ’s for your firewire devices is with two Firewire cards.”

I would think that this would be the same as two firewire cards. One just happens to be integrated into the mobo.

[Richard Bartlett] “IRQ19 is usually the ACPI resource controller that gloops all the actual IRQs of peripherals (the PIRQ lines) and pumps them into the OS using an additional layer.”

Is it common then that device manager would show both 1394 devices as using IRQ 19? As I stated, it’s not a real problem…but having the two extra ports on the front of the case would be handy instead of having to reach behind the case to access the port on the aceDVio card. On occassion I need to dump the timeline directly to my stand alone DVD recorder for a proofing for a client instead of having to render the project first. I find this easier than using “print to tape” since I can run the timeline in “preview best” mode and not have to pre-render anything. Thanks for the responses.

I would think that if it was your amp you would get the same results with other DVD’s besides the ones you are encoding. Not sure what it could be if you are encoding with the stereo DVD setting.

With a stereo mix, it not uncommon to hear mainly out of the center channel speaker when your receiver is set to Dolby Surround depending on how you have your surround mix set up on your receiver. I’m not sure why you would be hearing it from the rear channels. Do all DVD’s sound this way or just the ones you encode?

In the capture utility….options, prefferences, general…uncheck enable device control.

oops…you were referring to “his” computer… 🙂

[Laszlo Kovacs] “An older computer has not enough power to
render faster.
So there’s no need to trick.”

Having V5 doesn’t necessarily mean you have an older computer…just an “older” version 🙂

One thing you have to be careful about as far as “Royalty Free” music is the fact that some companies sells you royalty free music to “PLAY” at the ceremony or whatever the occassion is…but they do not grant you “mechanical” rights which means that you can not copy the music to your video…you can only play their CD. “Royalty Free” can be quite misleading in regards to what you can use it for. I would check with the company before I forked out the money for a library and see if they allow you to copy the music to your videos.

One of the things I do is to use the zoom transition. Start the pic out at the smallest size in the center of the screen with the first keyframe. Then at the end of the zoom resize the pic to fill the screen. Then in “pan and crop” you can rotate the pic several times (I even make it sync with the music). Your pic will seem to come from no where and be spinning as it is zoomed up. Might sound a little generic, but when sync’d to the music it looks kinda cool.

It doesn’t actually put copy protection on it. It just flags the master to tell the replication company to add copy protection from what I understand.
