Exporting a 720p project shot and captured as HDV1 mts files to DV, I've encountered two problems, one banal and one - which I've experienced a few times, on 5.5 and 6 as well - baffling and weird.
The banal: on this Edius 7 machine, there doesn't seem to be any DV codec options. I assumed there would be a full codec install with Edius. Downloaded codec pack 7.20 but on install, it wanted me to uninstall 7.21 first ... so I pulled out. Not sure what's going on here: I just need to export to MS DV for a client in the US who's given required specs right out of 2001. (QT doesn't appear to have a DV codec installed either- it's very odd.)
Should I install the 7.20 GV pack (it appears to be aimed at HQ, not DV, but claims to include canopus DV.) Or is ther another pack this machine might be missing/which is better?
The weird (and long-standing bug). I foolishly changed the project settings to SD 4:3 interlaced. The picture immediately degraded, and on second thoughts I tried to switch back to 720p. And the bug that's bugged me for years cropped up: all the footage is now seen as 50p, and pllaaayyysss very ssllloooowwwly.
This is a big pain in the neck, and hard to get back to the project I once had ... changing the clips back to 25p manually is slow but worse, doesn't help; running them all at 200% speed also slow but worse, they lose their in and out points; going back to an older backup version of the project, and it STILL reads the footage as 50p, not 25p and plays it out at half speed.
Closing and opening Edius seems to help- but not always, and not all clips.
