I have a 25 minute clip old old 8mm and super 8mm that was transferred to a thumb drive as a NTSC, DV25 .mov file. When I play it back on my Mac Pro using Quicktime, it looks good, as good as 50 year old film can. However, when I import it into my Media Composer v8.5, the video looks like it has been...

Hi everyone! I know this sounds rather silly, but I've been working on some training materials - for high school age kids - and have discovered that good ol' DV ingest (mini dv tapes) is actually the most straightforward way to demonstrate quite a few things, without the expense of decks etc...

I am purchasing a new Mac and am researching a storage solution. I usually work on a rented Nitris for feature films, hooked up to an Isis. I would like a home set-up.

I am really fed up with all the troubles that I get every day from AVID 6 and I am seriously thinking to get a lawyer and create a comitate of disappointed and damaged customers. I really encounter troubles every day and too often those problems slowed down my work and definitely changed my timetable...

Hi Folks, I have some problem with importing; please help me if you can. From DVCam tapes (184 mins) I imported materials to Media Composer on my PC (HP nw8440 laptop) in PAL system, and the quality of the video is a bit bad (almost good, but just almost). I realized little horizontal lines on picture...

I have a MacBookPro with MC5.5. I capture via a G-raid firewire from a Sony DCR-TRV950E DV camcorder. My footage is shot in 12 bit/32kHz audio mode. I am trying to capture a full tape, making sub-clips based on timecode. Now, when I try to capture, after about 10 seconds, the video capture window freezes...

Dear all, I am still an early AVID user so please bear with me. I have version 5.0.3 on Mac. A minister has asked me to compile a whole lot of scenes from DVDs for a sci fi oriented church service.
