Premiere Pro and DVFilm Maker Error

[skunker]

Hello,
I get a "Not a DV Codec" error when using Adobe Premiere Pro and DVFilm Maker:

First, I capture my 24pA (Dvx100) footage from camera to Premiere as regular NTSC 2:3:3:2 footage. Then, I save this as a regular DV-AVI file which I take into DVFilm Maker and convert the 2:3:3:2 pulldown to 24p. Once converted, I then take this footage back into Premiere and open as a new project with editing mode set to Video for Windows and a Timebase of 24.00 frames/second. I then import the previously converted footage into this timeline and make the edits that I need, etc. Once finished, I export the timeline material as a Quicktime file set at 24fps which I then take into DVFilm Maker to convert the footage from 24P back to a NTSC 3:2 pulldown to view on TV or video tape.....

The problem is, on this last step when I hit PROCESS, I get an error saying "Not a DV codec". It didn't matter what codec I tried on this last step because I get this same error message.

Am I doing something wrong? I'd like to get it working before I buy the retail version of DVFilm Maker. Thanks for any help on this matter.

I'm about to jump into the DV film maker world as I just completed a 24pA shoot this weekend. But I did notice that you used 24.00 fps when importing into PP. Upon reading the FAQ at dvfilm.com. It states that the output file generated from the software is at 23.976 frames per second (1% decrease). You may want to try to reset the params of the PP project to reflect the frame rate prior to import.

Good luck.

Please post updates or corrections to my post - As I could use the lesson as well...
Cheers

dvfilmaker can convert to either true 24 fps or 23.976 - older versions of premiere would actually be 23.98 when set to that instead of truly being 23.976, so the dvfilm guys suggested using the true 24fps, and the audio is converted to match- they have a new audio utility that comes with dvfilmmaker to convert the audio back. also i dont think dvfilmaker cares about what codec is used *you can load in avi from a digital camera if you want.. its probably just a weird error. but call them to see whats going on.
