Is it just me of has anyone else had problems with the output quality of using the Compressor 2 that ships with FCP5? I've been doing come direct comparisons encoding the same material using Compressor 2 on my dual G5 an Compressor 1.? on my Dual 500 G4 and Compressor 1 has won every time. All...

I found this clip on my computer. It's DVX footage that someone put tpether as a test when the camera first came out a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I found it here. I'm trying to figure out where the music is from. Anyone know. The clip is called "Christmas Magic"...

Though I've been using Sony tapes in my DVX, I wanted to keep my new HVX all Panny. It was my intention to use only Panny AY-DVM63MQ Master series tapes, however on my first order I accidentally got the AY-DVM63AMQ Advanced Master tapes. What's the difference other than costing $2 more each? And...

I'm thinkink about the Dell as a studio monitor. Though I can't seem to find my answers scattered out in the forum. I know it's great for 1080 stuff, but what about for 720p? How good is it at upscaling the image? The majority of my projects will be in 720p due to the framerate option and I...

So as I understand it, pass through monitoring of HD from FCP back to the HVX and then to an HDTV doesn't work correct? I'm just thinking, why don't they make a firewire device just for this purpose? I shoot a lot on DV and then go staight to DVD and hardly ever record back to DV. I mostly use...

Have some questions on the best way to transfer a 35mm film to video. Trying to do something like this with little cost I figure just taping a projection should work out ok. My main question is what framerate is best if I'm shooting with my DVX? Since the film runs at 24fps would I be safe...

So I'm gonna be shooting with my own DVX-100 and a friend's DVX-100A. I have an anamorphic lens for mine, he does not. How well would shooting anamorphic with mine and his in squeeze mode look together? Would I notice much difference between the two? I'm thinking of just going fullscreen if it...

I suddenly noticed that all my encoded mpeg-2 file have all these weird Chinese characters in their file decription... http://www.jesterpictures.com/video/weirdness.jpg Anyone see this before? Thanks, -Jarek

Ok, I know the main differences between DV and DVCPRO are in the way it is recorded to tape. As far as I know the actual video signal is the same for both. All informations on the HVX states that you can record DVCPRO100,50,25 "and" DV to P2. Is there a difference when not going to tape? I just...

Just wondering what you think the best codec is for archival. I'm taking about things like animations and graphics heavy stuff. I'd like something better that DV25, but at the same time I don't want to use am uncompressed format like Animation. I'm thinking between DV50 and Pixlet. Is one of...

Just thought I'd post the latest video I've shot. It's for a group called Dynasty Electric Duo, it was written and directed by a good friend of mine, Joshua Katcher. I handled the cinematography, it's our second music video working together. All shot with a DVX. Edited on FCP Hourglass.wmv...

So I'm striping together 2 drives in my G5 for RAID 0. It's asking me what raid block size I want. What is best for video? 16k 32k 64k 128k 256k I'm leaning towards 256k...bigger is better no? Thanks, Jarek

Does it make any sense to shoot 1080p 24p for projects they will ultimately be in 720p? I ask this because I would use 720p 60p for any slowmo and speed changing shots. If i do that, does it make any sense to shoot any regular 24p stuff at the higher resolution? I know theoretically it'll give...

Hey guys. After having my DVX for what? Like 3 years now, I've run accross my first problem. I was doing a shoot that had to be in 60i. Actually I think this is the first time I ever shot 60i with this camera. But anyway when I reviewed my footage, I noticed this really weird interlacing thing...

Ok Here's a link to the video I've been working on. "Severed" The Wage of Sin - Music Video It'll be on at 10pm on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

Just wondering if someone could tell me what I'd need to get to have a complete follow focus setup for my DVX. I know I'd probably have to get the Century Optics Manual Focus but don't i need to get more stuff like a gear and a crank or extension wands. Any info would be great. -Jarek
