Is there true zero frame delay? Quality of the component in? I read about some issues with the Laird products on APN, but those were mostly with XDV 2. I've also posted a similar question on WWUG, and if anyone's interested, I can pass along any info I get from there, too. Thanks, Valerie Matrox DVD overlay to NTSC - "Valerie Shoaps" >Interesting point - and one I worried about. But, how do you know its >not? By looking at it... hahaha. Seriously, I have a Canopus Storm (that I can't stand, FS as soon as I get this realtime NTSC issue resolved) but use that and codec wrapper converterss, etc... to compare, and it's close, but not real. You can tell, it's not difficult. >The DVD mode is good enough to convert a DVD overlay to NTSC. So >why not the Composer overlay. Plus, one can adjust the G450 output. I spent last weekend trying to tweak my G450. Didn't get it. Adam Wilt wrote a very precise explanation of this under the subject header: Avid ExpressDV: Opinions? Valerie Non-commercial? - Jon Burkhart I work in both. Usually, commercial television wants my finished video (all done in DV with the finished master on DVCAM) delivered to them on Betacam SP. The Community College with which I work wants the finished video on DVCAM. That's the only difference. Aloha, Jon Burkhart Chris Benham wrote: > > I was just curious.

Storm Edit Sound WAS: Avid ExpressDV - Jon Burkhart I love the sound tools in Storm Edit AND they're so convenient. They're pretty basic but take care 90% of my sound doctoring requirements. For that other 10%, it's Sound Forge to the rescue! Aloha, Jon Burkhart Wolfgang Neun wrote: > > May I ask you StormEdit-ors how do you edit sound?

If the voice over requires that your talent see the pictures while recording, you can play the timeline on your computer while recording the voice with your camcorder or other device. You can then import that and easily sync it up to the pictures.

Note that the 11 can only dub TC when recording in DVCAM mode. If recording in DV, TC is freshly created. AJW [Any bizarre line breaks courtesy of OS X's Mail.app. Think Different!] XL1 camera sync WAS: IBM Drives - Jon Burkhart Two of the original XL1 version. I use a Canopus DVStorm for the capture and edit. There are issues with the XL1 running in the 32K 12 bit mode. Since you asked, check out: http://www.dvinfo.net/xl1.htm It may be more than you want to know, but it'll give you some insight into the XL1. It's a bit strange, but I greatly appreciate having the audio flexibility 4 channels can give you. I have a little capture EDL for about 7 1/2 minute chunks that seems to work well. I need to hold the capture under 2 GIG anyway so I can easily import files into Sound Forge for audio work.
