Dave Cox was able to export from Pixlet to 1080i using HDVerter
(do a search on this forum). I've heard great things about lumiere however, so if this is able to do 1080i I would suggest trying that instead.

Dustin,

The next version of Lumiere HD will allow you to output 1080i TS to DVHS decks and the new Sony FX1.

I think the DVHS approach with a good HD resolution projector is a great way to show your film.

Best,

Frederic

I'd advise not to use Pixlet as a codec choice. PhotoJPEG100% is a more efficient and better looking codec, that uses less processor too, and is 4:4:4.

Dustin,

The next version of Lumiere HD should also support the VC SR-VD400US DVHS deck.

Sony HDV support now available in Lumiere HD

A beta of Lumiere HD with support for the Sony HDV cameras was just released and is available to all Lumiere HD customers.

This new version also supports SD HDV mode in the JVC cameras and the GR-PD1 sold in Europe.

It does not allow for output back to the Sony HDV devices yet.

Lumiere HD includes:

• Capture from following HDV devices:

- JVC JY-HD10U (720p30, HDV SD)
- JVC GR-HD1 (720p30, HDV SD)
- JVC GR-PD1 (HDV SD50p)
- JVC CU-VH1(720p30, HDV SD)
- SONY HDR-FX1(1080i60)
- SONY HDR-FX1(E) (1080i50)
- SONY HVR-Z1 (1080i/60/50)

• Converts the captured HDV clips into QuickTime friendly HD MPEG-2 video format (online), via batch processing

• Offers editors their codec of choice (DV, DVCPRO HD, etc.) to edit in Final Cut Pro's timeline, with all of the real-time benefits -- such as transitions, FX, and composites, without rendering. Also provides real-time playing and NTSC monitoring in DV.

• Automates the complete migration of captured HDV footage into Final Cut Pro, including:

- Generating XML File
- Importing clips
- Anamorphic (16:9) setting
- Merging of audio & video
- Online process optimization

• Encodes HD output from Final Cut Pro into HDV MPEG-2 Transport Stream and transfers back to HDV cameras and decks. This step (HDV Print to Tape) is not yet supported for the Sony HDV cameras.

Frederic,

Can your product encode 1080i content that was captured from HDCAM uncompressed and output a regulart Transport Stream to disk for broadcast use? Also, does the Beta release support the output to the JVC HMDH40000U and or the JVC SR-VD400US. If so can it output 1080i?
Have client that needs this by tuesday.

... Lumière vs mpeg streamclip

I was experiencing wierd artefacts in transfering from mpegstreamclip. Like dv drops but worse >(hdv drops!)
I looked and looked for other demuxing solutions for the mac.
Finally I bought lumière. And everything seems to run smoothly regardless of enormous transfering time - at least the artefacts are not on my images anymore.
This is footage from the HDR-FX1 usa. (1080i 60i)
I hate the fact that apple will come out with an upgrade for fcphd and lumière will soon be outdated... but my projects are due yesterday, so I had no alternatives. At least none that I could find.

Dave,

Yes, Lumiere HD does encode 1080i TS 25 Mbps. It doesn't officially support the 40K decks however but compatibility with these decks will come very soon.

Lumiere take Dv project and online HDV?

I've been through the quicktime tutorials and read lots of posts, so I have an understand how LumiereHD basically works.
It's a good HDV solution for Mac and I'm thinking of purchasing.

However I was wondering if the software can help me with this.

I have cut together a short video by shooting HDV with the FX1, and then importing the footage as DV via the camera's own downconversion.

I would now like to have a HDV version of this clip (should have thought of this earlier eh?).

Is there a way of using LumiereHD that I can now online to HDV?

Not having used the program I'm unsure if LumiereHD generates it's own timecode or what?

Thanks in advance.

best wishes

PS - Merry Christmas - the video I'm referring to is at

No, to use Lumiere, you needed to capture the footage as HDV m2t files, and then use Lumiere's transcoding functions to convert the m2t files to hi def m2vs (for online) and DV movs(for offline) with aiff sound (used by both online and offline versions).

Lumiere does not deal with HDV timecode at all, so has no reference to your original shots on the tape, it uses FCP's media management to replace the DV movs with the HDV m2v files from the hard drive.

I'm afraid if you want HDV online you'll have to start again.

Help with FX1 and Lumiere HD 1.5b8!

After doing my transport stream in DVCPro HD 1080i60 (which made it 1280x1080), I imported my XML file, only to discover that it's offline. It finds the AIFF file okay, but when it tries to find the video file, it says:

"File "part 1.mov" does not have proper content to reconnect to clip in sequence "part 1 mov". Click "OK" to make this item independent and go to the next clip or "Cancel" to skip all clips from this file."

HELP!
