Blue indicator missing?

Hi Thanks, I think the blue indicator line disappeared after installing build 444. Options/Enable snapping was off, but even after switching it back on, there is still no blue line.

Replacing HD files with SD Files. Blu-ray to DVD

Hi Thanks for the response. I'll give it a try. I don't want to save it as a template as every wedding is different. I just want to save some time rather than recreating the look and structure a second time

OT: HDMI to Composite Convertor

Thanks. I have done a search which has show quite a few. I recently found one here in South Africa in that price range, but the quality was not good. Will keep on trying

OT: HDMI to Composite Convertor

Thanks, I understand what you are saying, but as I said, the composite signal out the NX 30 is not good, whereas the signal out my VX2100 is. I can get a good signal from the HDMI out running through 3 seperate units which delivers a very good image / signal on screen. What I am trying to find out is whether or not there is a good quality single unit, HDMI to Composite which can acheive what I am looking for, going straight from HDMI to Composite. Thanks anyway

OT: HDMI to Composite Convertor

Thanks. Sorry, I also forgot to mention that for the on camera, because there is no LANC in on the NX 70 and NX 30, I bought a LANC Adapter. I see loads of cheap convertor units, but is there not a high quality convertor available? The quality out the camera's composite-out is fuzzy and I would like to deliver good quality using the cameras mentioned. Failing that, I have to stay with the VX2100.

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Hi MikeLV. I have been using TMPGEnc for about 10 years now and I don't think there is a better encoder for the price.

Vegas Pro 10 Won't Start

Hi, What I have found which may help with both Vegas Pro and DVD Architect. About a year ago DVD Architect would not start no matter what. I went to a restore point, uninstalled and re installed etc. I found by acident that if you ctrl>alt>del and give a few seconds and it opens up. Once opened, I can work in DVD Architect without any problems. Not the ideal situation, but I hope this helps

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Incidently, I have DVD Source Creator 2, I never knew that it still continued. Oh, and the interface is different in Version 4, which looks more like TMPGEnc 4 Xpress. DVD Source Creator 2 has a very basic interface

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Hi. I did play around with the settings as suggested by Arthur.S but I was not happy. I also found the quality dropped when panning, Judder / Shaking or whatever you want to call it. However encoding with TMPGEnc DVD Source Creator, there is none of that, no settings to change and as I said, the results are perfect. Best USD 29 that I have ever spent

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Hi. Been a bit busy which is why I have taken long to respond. I am in South Africa and in Africa and Dual Layer is a bit "hit and miss" with the players here. My gripe was the rendering time as well as having to create new menus, but I have made the single layer discs for the client and will be handing over in the morning. I took your advice and installed Debugmode as a frame server, but using TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works resulted in video that looked washed out and bad jittering when panning. I found that it was taking too much fiddling to get a good end result, so I used my good old faithful TMPGEnc DVD Source Creator and the results are perfect. Many thanks

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Thanks Arthur. I am going to check out the debugmode frameserver and I will also read up as you suggest. I agree that the original HD file is always best, but some clients still want DVD's because most times they still only have a DVD player. (This is Africa) I have a client who's wedding was just on 3 hours long. He is from The Congo and has a Bluray player. The family back in the Congo however only have DVD players. So I will have to fit it on 3 disc's when I create the DVD's. Thanks again

HD to Blu-RAy then DVD

Hi Arthur. I was reading through your response and I am wondering what you use to frameserve to TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works? A while ago before moving to Vegas, I used to edit in Ulead MSPro and frameserve to TMPGEnc.DVD Source Creator which gave me really good quality going from DV to mpeg. I have rendered to m2ts out of Vegas and then converted to mpeg in TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5, but the quality just isn't there. So far the best I can get is using the Main Concept Program Stream PAL Widescreen Template so I would be interested to see if there is a differece frameserving to TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5

Importing Affter Effects Projects

Hi Thanks for the information. I am in South Africa, so to return the discs and get a refund would be a problem. I know someone that works in After Effects so I will see if he can do the conversion / export for me. Cheers Ken

Proxy Files

Hi. I have Cineform Neoscene which I use from time to time on short projects, but the file sizes are way bigger than the Sony proxy files, so when, as in this case, I am doing a two camera edit on a wedding, I would rather not use Cineform. Thanks. Ken ( I am going to investigate Vegasaur )
