[George Glou]

that sound good to me :-)
Thanks Anton....
I try to find somewhere to read about all these.....50p,60p,conversions and so on , in order to understand more about the why and how of shooting in different settings but i find nothing.just reading in blogs.
you guys help here A LOT.
thank you

50p will be also in 1280. We will try it as well.Will let you know the results.

Thanks a lot...everyone

1280x720 50p should be no issue since your target is 720x576 50i

I often mount an SLR shooting 1280x720 50p on the bonnet of my car via suction mount and the footage looks great in 50i project, because each frame will become a field

it will downscale well and it is also perfectly accepted for Blu-ray 50p

we try to see the difference between 29,97 and 25p in canon dslr.they shoot they weddings only with dslr and we try to find out the best settings for this.
Now we are shooting at 1280 60p just to compare.

I would shoot at 50p if possible

50p files will work perfect in 50i project

may I asked why you shot 29.97p?

[George Glou]

The thing is that the quality that a dslr gives you....does not compare with a camera.clearness,depth of field and so on.We give sometimes bluray as a final product but people here know and want only dvd.thats why we rec at ntsc.maybe a liitle bit more frames are good.I'm not an expert. we test and we go forward.

[Geoff_C]

It's a standard NTSC HD to NTSC SD transform so it should look OK. I'd be inclined to burn a DVD and test. For the future maybe set your camera to PAL if you must have PAL DVD's

[George Glou]

yes but what about the 720X480 ? shall I see a big difference or it is so small the size difference that will not matter anyway?

[Geoff_C]

Hope I'm not confusing matters.
I use a GH2 camera which produces 1920x1080 25p. The files are quite happy on a 25fps timeline set to 50i. It's highly likely that your 1920x1080 29.97P will load onto a 29.97fps time line set 59.97i (60i)

Why don't you stay with NTSC. Make your DVD and it will play in most PAL players. It's PAL that will not play in NTSC players.

[George Glou]

is there any big difference between canopus hq fine and canopus HQ PAL 720x576 50i? Always in mind that raw footage is 1920x1080 29,97p and that unfotunatelly the final project will be in PAL DVD

Because 1 hour and 18 min after exporting to canopus hq fine is......85 GB. I mean thats A LOT !!!!!!

What I am doing wrong??????

[antonsvideo]

exporting direct from HD NTSC to SD Pal will give more artifacts, but you will gain speed

[George Glou]

yes just tried it.....
Last question....if i export it staight to mpeg 2 pal for dvd is the result going to be worst than exporting to hq and then import it to sd as you said? Hq offers better file that will be handled better in a sd project later on?

[antonsvideo]

how are you going to do that?

you can't change NTSC project to PAL project

[George Glou]

ok thats a good idea.
what if before exporting, to change the project settings from 1920x1080 29,97p to 720x576 50i. then for sure i well can ES but what about the quality? is this a bad way?
