A nice upgrade with many useful features. But as usual, Avid giveth and Avid taketh away. In the 8.4 release, I commented that PAL amd NTSC raster sizes were incorrect in the New Project dialogue. Fixed. Thank you. I also commented that I could not capture DV25 420 (just got pixellated video) nor play...

I have to uprez 59.94 HDCAM footage from DV25 (how it was captured; SD) to DVX 145 (highest quality; HD). Seeing as this is my first time doing ANY sort of uprez, could you please give me step by step process of how i go about this?...if it makes a difference, I'm using Avid MC 6 with Interplay on...

I'm working on a feature-length doc that's been shot over several years, and I'll be importing at least 150 mini-dv tapes into Avid Media Composer 5.5 using a deck with a firewire connection. I'm on a MacPro desktop. I need to finish the project for possible broadcast or theatrical release...

I have a company telling me that they want to archive my mini-dv tapes into an avi file format!! That just sounds so wrong to me. I told them I would rather a DV25 codec with a QuickTime wrapper. Does that sound reasonable for future editing use?

I'm using MC 4.0.5. I'm attempting to digitize DV25 NTSC SD footage from a Panasonic AG200 using the capture tool. I have done this many times in the past with success without a hitch. The capture toll sees the source and reads the time code. When I click on the record button all I get is green...

I've been having difficulty playing out from my Media Composer on a MacBook Pro via firewire to a HDD DVD recorder. The footage I've been playing out is DV25 420 with digital cut safe mode switched on. It played out for about 25 minutes without a hitch then the image froze, both on Avid and the...

Hi, I've digitized some DV tapes into my new Avid Media Composer (Version 3.5.4) but the captured pictures look really flat. Compared to the footage in the camera viewer they look kind of milky and have much less contrast and colors. I don't have a separate monitor, just using the Avid window...

This is probably a pretty basic question but I'll ask it anyway. I understand that decompose takes all the clips in a sequence, makes new master clips for each of them, relinks the sequence to those new, offline master clips and then you're basically supposed to recapture the media and then you...

I am on a PC, XP professional trying to load mini DV sony tapes to my sony DSR-11 deck at a resolution of DV25. The problem: I select an in point and an out point (as usual). But I get an error message: Exception: Failed to find a preroll point on the tape. I have played around with the capture settings...

Hi all: Been using Avid products for many years now and have never experienced anything like this. Today I created a new 30i project and digitized some footage @ DV25. The footage plays back 'jittery', like its playing back @ 15FPS. Footage from bins that have been created in older projects also...
