Ron,
LOVE that version and sounds like the one that I heard. Goose bumps!
The Jeff Buckley version is also good and has some good instrumentation at the beginning.
8mm movie projectors nomally projected at 16-18 fps. Since NTSC video records at 29.? fps, they are not synched. This creates the flickering. There are projectors out there with multibladed gates that help reduce this problem. Or you can use what I do. A specially constructed piece of equipment called a workprinter that takes each frame of the film and has it recorded by a 3CCD recorder. This records about 8fps. These individual frames are send to a computer file (basically a captured movie) But if this file is played back at NTSC it would be played at 29.? fps so would appear as fast forward. So the file is sent to a program (Cinecap) that takes the file and converts it quite nicely to 16, 18 or 24 fps (your choice)This totally eliminates flickering and any ‘hotspots’ that projecting the film creates. I do not see how you could slow the film down accurately with Vegas.
There seems to be a conflict of opinion. Some sources say that DVD-R are more compatable. I guess its whatever seems to work for you. Up until this time the Verbatum -R had been fine. Its strange that an exact duplicate of the disc (Verbatum-R) made on a duplicating tower seems to work fine. Doesn’t the duplication of a disc just create a clone with the same set ups and codes etc?
I had heard the same good word about Verbatum discs which is why I generally use them. I have never had a problem before in any DVD player. Just lucky I guess. I will be testing the discs I made in my friends DVD player and see if there are any differences. I’ll try to report back here.
That is correct. The Pixalan plug ins are actual plug ins for Vegas (and others). they will show up in the Fx menu. You do not need another program other than Vegas to run them. This directly from Pixalan.
