So how do you make a progressive scan DVD? I think with running FCP 3.0.4 I cannot edit in 24p Advanced, right? Second, if I did get the 24p Advanced edited when I go to Compressor do I need to tell it the footage is anything more than NTSC? Third, in DVDSP 2 would I be able to build the...

I have a question about using a progressive scan dvd player. If I shoot 24p ntsc and output with Compressor using mpeg-2 ntsc then with using a progressive scan dvd player is it essentially removing the pull-down from the footage? Also, in Compressor when you compress to mpeg-4 I noticed there...

Servicing For Dvx In Los Angeles? Annual Cleaning Nothing Major.

Can't seem to get the Panny site to take the model number for the DVX100a. I am trying to find a service center for an annual cleaning. Canon's for the XL-1 was very simple. Also, does anyone know if in Los Angeles the Cahuenga Blvd Panny building is where I would be taking it, trying to stay...

Here is my problem. I have encoded a 40 min video mpeg-2 with Compressor 1.2.1 and when I only encode a short clip of the video the "pixelation" I am seeing goes away. When I encode the entire video a strange pixel-shift-effect happens in some of the shots. For instance, the image looks smooth...

I wanted to know about using "Final Cut Pro Movie" as an export method to Compressor. In short, does this method compress the footage more from the original footage in FCP, thus, do you lose any information this way? Why would going directly from FCP to Compressor in FCP 4 have a higher quality...

I shoot 24p not Advanced and was wondering about encoding. I realize that with 24p the camera makes it possible to preserve the look of 24 frames (Pulldown) while still using NTSC. The question I have is this: with using Compressor when would I want to encode footage as 24p and not NTSC? I...

When editing in 24p with pulldown (not advanced) in FCP 3.0.4 is it still an issue to accidentally edit on a "split frame" - if so why have I not never seen one in my finished work, since I never knew to look for such a thing when editing? Is it true you will not see it on the computer monitor...

Could someone explain the various types of printing when duplicating DVD's? I am aware of Thermal Color and Silkscreen but what are the differences and how do any others I do not know of compare in quality and price? Thanks

I have to say, with the attention this camera is getting I have led myself to contemplate this phenomenon of pre-release information and more to the point, the infamous mock-up. It seems to me a fairly common occurence, a tendency in advanced capitalism where you have the fetishization of...

Now for a FCP 3.0.4 question. Can I raise Audio Levels above 12db? I try but it defaults back to 12db. If not is there a filter to boost the all around volume? I have most of my audio where I need it but with the camera I had the Levels too low at the beginning but need to use this audio...

If I get Tiger will my Final Cut Pro 3.0.4 take advantage of Quicktime 7? Will the MPEG2 encoding take advantage of the new QT? thanks __________ 733 superdrive, 1gb ram, 500gbs hardrives, OSX 10.3

Quick question here. Been shooting with my DVX100A and on low-end TV's I notice more flicker and vibration on vertical lines than on the camera's LCD or viewfinder. Can I minimize this somehow? Or is this inherent with low-end TV's? On the camera I have it set to "Thick" and have been shooting...
