Okay, that part seemed to work. I am making the m2t file now. After done, will try hdlink to send back to tape. How would we ever get this stuff to work w/o the internet?

So, is there no way to just export straight to tape with the 1.5.1 HDV in Ppro2? If the setting is serial, then export to tape shows up, but when I select export to tape, it does not see my camera connected as firewire. If I change the setting to HDV, then the export to tape is grayed out.

So, if I did not mess up, I assume the current process is to export a M2T file, then use HDlink to export this M2t tape to HDV tape?

Thanks

So, I just exported my M2t file back to my 25U with Hdlink. Worked like a champ!!!

What is the workaround?
 

Asking when Aspect HD will be able to print to tape. So what is the work-around if you don't have PP1.5. I only have 2.0. I'm need to out put TODAY so I can have my dubs done locally to go on air by Monday. Any and all help appreciated.

This time of year (March) is without a doubt the absolute busiest for any software company in the video market, as it pretty much the eve of NAB. Frankly I would not expect anything new to be announced from anybody until the week of NAB (April 14th). That's when everything currently being worked on is announced. Typically the NAB news starts to come in between now (30 days prior) and April 14th but many companies won't actually make their statements until that particular week. No doubt CineForm will announce whatever they have as soon as they're ready to, but I wouldn't expect to hear anything prior to mid April.

Thanks Chris that doesn't do me alot of good today.

Sorry, Jerry, but as much as we all look forward to that functionality, it does no good to publically harangue the Cineform folks who are good enough to respond to our posts here.

Upon release of AspectHD 4.x last year, Cineform made clear that there were Print-to-Tape limitations. That was up-front, available information. If you needed that feature, then maybe this wasn't the right product for you.

In any case, one of my favorite sayings seems to apply: "lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." You've had five months since first posting about the issue to create a workflow solution to avoid a "today" Print-To-Tape emergency.

Since all you have to do is export a Cineform HD AVI and use it in a Adobe HDV project - and export to tape from there - I don't see it as a major hassle.

Doesn't seem to work for me what are your settings? Still can't get one to work. I'm gettting alisasing all over the place and the animations are all off. What could cause this?

Never mind I got it to work crisis averted for now. Thanks to all that helped. And sorry for the freak out.

Im no doubt going to have to do this process soon and have the same setup of editing in Pro 2 - so just to clarify - once I have exported back to tape I essentialy have edited HDV content that I could hook up my camera to a HD source and show a client a preview of the work done without having to burn to blue ray or alternative?

Thanks

Steve

Yes, that's correct.
