DVL-Digest 1216 - Postings: Index os x upgrade U-matic DUB to S connector Where to get: PAL to NTSC coversion? - (2) os x upgrade - Adam Wilt > Can anyone tell me why I would pay to upgrade to os x.2? to chat?!? To chat? Feh! How about: 1) Improved speed throughout 2) Faster graphics (Quartz) even with older video cards 3) WAY faster graphics (Quartz Extreme) with newer video cards 4) "zero-conf" networking 5) Better AFP performance; vastly better SMB performance 6) You can bet that when FCP 4 comes out, it'll require 10.2. 7) Spam filtering in Mail 8) The dock doesn't have those annoying horizontal stripes (Um, er, I mean, so we have heard...) Philip Hodgetts tonight said that 10.2 is the first version of OS X that's really ready for widespread distribution. I'd tend to agree.

My archive of majority U-matic tapes needs to be transferred to > digital and the DUB out is much better quality than composite. The Y/C 688 signal's Y is the same as in a Y/C 3.58 (S-Video) connection, but the chroma is still modulated. I know that some TBCs will accept the DUB signal and extract the Y from it, but many (including the I.DEN I have) just use the color information in the composite feed. I don't remember seeing any U-matic DUB to S-Video converter boxes per se. Doesn't mean they don't exist, though.

I would want the conversions to be done in either DV or DVCAM. I've been quoted per half hour plus the cost of tape. Is that typical?

Phil, if you need a low-cost but good quality software solution check out this new PAL/NTSC converter released a few days ago: http://members.chello.hu/mezei.attila/dvtools/ (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
