Using PPro 1.51, RT.X100 and XL-2 @ 30p
I have Premiere Pro 1.51, the Matrox RT.X100 and use it to edit video recorded on an XL-2 at 30p. I've seen some weirdness when using the Matrox DVEs, such as for a page-turn transition. I would see severe interlacing in the preview, but never in the final output. I've never had any trouble with interlaced artifacts in titles, either. All the real-time stuff works, but frankly, apart from seeing the result of an effect right away, there is no advantage to this when outputting to DVD.
I use the Matrox preset for 16:9 DV video. I use the RT.X100 to encode the video to MPEG-2. Since it doesn't do audio, I export the timeline audio as a .WAV from PPro, then run it though TMPGEnc AC-3. Matrox has an annoying habit of using many words to say very little specifically about their products. That's why you end up buying their stuff only to discover the "gotcha" they didn't mention. My only nagging problem with the RT.X100 is that it swaps left and right audio channels when capturing. I had to check the box "swap left and right channels" in the capture settings to correct this.

if u think your done by now, imagine all those JVCHD101 owners who wont be able to use an RTx2 to their advantage.. considering most users of the RTx100 are event videographers, and one of the highest selling HDV camcorder here in Aus is the JVC (all those ENG'ers are jumping to it) you would think that it would at least support 720p, but it doesnt.. but like i said, there was a write up on the release of the RTx2 based on Spec in the premier forum |

I'm not booted into my editing profile right now, but the RT.X100 can export a .wav along with the MPEG-2 stream.
((Sure can, and i would ONLY recommend this... forget mpgaudio streams.. unless ur happy to put up with mp3 quality mush... ) I also believe it may be able to export an .mp2 audio stream, if desired. ((Yup, simoultaneously as the MPG2 video stream in fact)) As for not including AC3 encoding, that’s quite understandable given the licensing fees Matrox would have had to pay. ((Its not jsut that.. u see the matrox isnt a Hardware AC3 encoder.. if it was, it would definately be on my "top 10 bits of kit" but as it stands.. no.. and more than likely, considering there are cheaper alternatives out there theres no point in even going there.. )) Even Adobe didn’t include an AC3 encoder with Premiere Pro; you’ve got to pay extra for that module. ((yah.. 400 odd dollars AUD from memory... thins is though, even without the plugin u still cant edit for 5.1 output. There is more than 1 surround sound format available, and by not even including surround mixing options, adobe (and to an extent matrox) have really shot themselves in the foot. As an example, the ac3 encoder DOES NOT come with Vegas.. it comes with DVD architect, which then unlocks the render engine in vegas. However, even without the ac3 encoder in Vegas, one can still create 5.1 mixes for DTS surround (from 6xwave) output, wma surround audio and wmv9 surround output |
