Orestes,

DVD will work with both interlaced and progressive video. If you encode a 24p video, the DVD player will create the 3:2 pulldown interlacing on the fly during playback. You can even mix...

James,

You didn't answer all of my questions. You did give me some clues, though.

I gather you are not going out to DVD, you are going back to tape. Is that correct? If so, I think you...

Kyle,

Premiere is perhaps the worst deinterlacer I have seen. Vegas seems to do a better job from the results I have seen others get. There are many, many ways to deinterlace in VirtualDub,...

If Film Motion looks fine to you, and 60i to 24p looks choppy, then there must be some problem in your workflow, because it's the same images in different formats. In fact, the 24p should look...

The "Film Motion" option is really a combination of the Pre and Post Edit options. It converts 60i to 24p AND adds 2:3 pulldown to bring it back to 60i. That option is really only for projects that...

Manu,

This is a limitation of miniDV. Are you familiar with the miniDV colorspace, 4:1:1? It means the format records only 1/4 as much color information as it does lumanance information. This...

Try this camera mounts & registers page (http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm). Register is the same as flang focal length.

Justin,

We are talking about both frame rate and shutter speed. FYI, exposure is measured in terms of F-stops (F/2, F2.8, etc.), and we're not talking about that.

As you correctly point...

I think 4:2:0 is nice in that it distributes the loss vertically and horizontally.

However, for interlaced material, I think 4:1:1 is superior, because each scanline is whole in and of itself. At...

Hse Kha,

Yes, this is the typical look of 4:2:0 colorspace. If this were 4:1:1, you'd see something similar, but more like horizontal bands instead of blocks. It is especially apparant in...

Thanks for the clariciation. I work mostly with Panasonics, and the CineGamma features on those cameras do produce increased latitude.

Shaughan,

Can you describe the setting a little more? Why they must be in the shade? Can you bring in some lights to light the subjects? What camera are you using?

Shaughan,

You either need to move the people out of the shade, or light the people to get your contrast ratio down. Or bounce some of that sunlight onto the people.

If you need the people...

The pre-recorded episodes may actually be shot on film. The live episodes would have to be shot on video, by necessity. Many episodic TV shows are shot on 35mm, or on 24p HD.

Marco,

The 34mm is probably .75 mm thread pitch, too.

You don't need to get a custom ring for this. You can put together a 34->46 and a 46->58 (or 34->37 and 37->58). Go to...
