I've been watching your dilema. And this tutorial may help you:
http://library.creativecow.net/artic...ve_footage.php You need to stop at the 60p section, before he converts to interlaced and then render it out. If you have CS2 or CS3 you may try timewarp which will build the in between frames and may look better. And you may want to save yourself some render time by capturing only clips that you will use. I also saw that you have the options of Sony HDV. You could bring your footage into vegas in the proper project settings and output that to tape on a sony HDV camcorder or deck. You could also downconvert and edit in DV and turn in a 480i project. Your dilema is a problem any HD100 or 110 users could face when submiting to a broadcast or projection company. ABC figured out that 720p looks a lot better at 59.94 than it does at 29.97, especially when converting 1080i. And that is why this is their HD format and others are also doing this. Funny I thought the 60p on the HD200's was for Slow-Mo... |

Steven,
Any m2t you capture that was originally 720p30 should still technically be 720p59.94. This is how the camera must record the 30p to tape, in a 2:2:2:2 pulldown as you mentioned. This maintains standards compatibility with 720p60 displays. As far as I know every m2t capture tool on PC or Mac simply copies the stream and does not permanently throw away the extra frames, allowing you to record back to tape at any time. I suggest that you look at the properties of your m2t files to confirm the actual framerate (regardless of flags.)

Here is another method that worked for me today. You must have virtual dub mod, avisynth, and HUFFYUV 2.11 (or someother good lossless codec) copy this text into notepad. Rename the folder and filename for the m2t file and save as 60p.avs #ASYNTHER DirectShowSource DirectShowSource("T:\test ads\60ptest.m2t", fps=59.94, convertfps=true) Open Virtual Dub Mod, then open or drop the .avs text file into it. The m2t will show up in Virtual Dub Mod as 59.94. Save as .avi Choose configure to setup your codec or go uncompressed, file sizes will increase. I used HuffYUV with: Predicdt Median (best), Convert to YUY2, check the box for "Always sugest RGB for output", leave the other boxes unchecked. When I only open a captured m2T in Virtual Dub, it shows 29.97 and the number of frames. When I use the above script and open the file. It shows up as 59.94 and double the frames, but the length of the clip is the same as when I opened it up as 29.97, so I think the data is already there like Tim said. I setup Premiere CS2 for a 720/60p setting with HuffYUV as the video renderer. (Maximize Bit Depth unchecked, millions of colors). And it worked. What also worked in Premiere is to setup a 720/60p project. Import your M2t file. In the project window, right click and choose Interpret footage. Change the frame rate to 59.94. Pull clip into the timeline and change the speed 50%. Render. |

How to setup 720/60p project in Premiere?

Sounds easy! The Premiere only gives me choices of HDV templates with 24p 30p 30i 60i How can I setup 720/60p project in Premiere? Thx for the info. Almost there..... |

GJ! TUP c ~';'~ y It worked!
I used the Raylight codec from Dvfilm and Rendered at 59.94 file plays fine.
Is there a downfall by doing this? Jittery or jumppy Should I be looking for? Played the file 10 times all looks great to me! Its really hard to believe that the only digital file format that this company takes is 720 59.94 for there theatres... You have made my stress go away and I thank you Tup.... If I can ever do anything for you please ask! I O U...... |
