  1. This is a Final Cut editing question but I would appreciate help on solutions.

    I did a short clip, 3.5 minutes, mixing DVD and analog capture (videotape) sources and put them on the same timeline. From experience I know that I can't save them as DV-DVCPro codec because on playback in DVD I'll get bad playback on the analog capture sequence. What makes this work is saving the sequence as MJPEG-A. Then both should play back just fine. But in my latest export, on the DVD source, I still see small "frame echoes" when the scene cuts from one camera angle to another. Playback quality and audio synch is just fine. Also described as "ghost" lag, if that's descriptive enough. Playback on 2 DVD Players tells me this is an encoding issue, not a Player "reading" issue. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and is there a solution to make sure that DVD + analog sources are exported and played back on DVD without any codec artifacts? Should there be a different codec used? It's not always convenient/available to get a DV edition of the analog captured item being used. Knowing the list, there are limited options for DVD usage. Thanks.

  2. I'll end my own thread by saying that I have to change the way I compose my clips. I have to treat them individually and then let DVDSP hop from track to track, seamlessly! Thanks.
