I've got some PAL, SD, 4:3, interlaced, mainly B&W material to capture from Digibeta (although the tapes are Beta SP). I'm inputing via SDI with embedded audio via AJA KONA 3 card. There are quite a few codec options, and previously I've used PAL DV 420 MXF as this is economical with... (read more)

Hello all. I return to the forum once again with a picky technical issue – Running Avid Media Composer 8.7.2 on a Dell 3.8GHz quad-core with 28GGB RAM and 64-bit Windows 7. I have been OUTputting longer projects using a Matrox mini ( http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/mxo2_mini/specs/ ) since... (read more)

Background: As far as I am aware, all HD terrestrial broadcasts are interlaced. Even HD video on Bluray requires interlaced video assets. Again, as far as I know, true 25fps (captured and recorded) is used only in physical film and DCP where each frame is transcoded as a single M-jpeg. Nothing on TV... (read more)

When setting up just now, I get ERROR MSG: THE PORT "OHCI" IS BUSY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR DECK CONTROL. While adjusting settings, I can... (read more)

Okay, this is a multipart question. Years ago, we shot some tapes on a varicam. In order to shoot progressive, we shot at 720p 23.98, which, of course, on tape, is actually still 59.94, but with a pulldown. It gets more complicated. We used a DVCPRO HD deck that had a built-in down-rez feature, and captured... (read more)

I have a JVC tapedeck BR-HD50 (PAL version), from which I captured all my HDV-tapes with MC versions 7 and earlier. Now, with version 8.1 (I did not check version 8.0) MC crashes, when I select the channels for capturing. The capture tool "sees" the tape and shows timecode. I can also wind... (read more)

I just moved to a new system and while capturing video from FW deck, i have no preview in the composer window. That is if only video track is selected. If any of audio track is selected, video preview is ok. Capture works fine, just there is not preview. Avid MC 6.5.2, win7 64bit. Nvidia quadro 2000... (read more)
