Problem with Satish Frameserver

Former user wrote on 6/23/2009, 6:55 PM
I have used Satish's frameserver a lot, but I never noticed this problem before. I think it is the frameserver, but maybe somebody has another idea.

I capture a DV file with 7.5 ire setup (NTSC). If I create an MPEG using Sony Vegas (Version 6) it looks like I expect. But if I run the video through the frameserver and create an MPEG using TMPGENC Express 4, it looks like it has doubled the setup. Actually setup is now at 12 ire.

My quest ion is-

is Vegas feeding out the wrong setup to the frameserver, or is the frameserver interpreting the setup incorrectly?

If I make a DV AVI and encode using the same setup in TMPGENC, everything looks as it should. The scopes show the MPEG at 7.5 ire.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

Okay, I just did another test. this time I fed Videodub and made a HUFYUV file. It kept the correct 7.5 so I now suspect TMPGENC is interpreting the frameserver incorrectly.

The DVD player is probably adding setup I would suspect.

John,

Thanks for the response, but I am seeing this within the computer. I import the MPEG file back into Vegas and the setup is higher. The DVD player is playing what it is getting.

Thanks.

There's a setting in TMPGEnc Express 4 that you have to set, and it would be the opposite how you would set it if you dropped in a DV AVI.

In TMPGEnc Plus 2.5, which I use, it's called "Output YUV data as Basic YCbCr not CCIR601".

For frameserver use from Vegas I check the box. For using a DV AVI directly I uncheck the box. That produces correct results.

ScorpioProd,

Thanks. Let me see if I can find the setting, but sounds like that would fix it.

I will let you know.
