Help With Cinema Craft Basic and DVD SP

Drew or Hal or anyone:

I downloaded the trial version of CC Encoder Basic and am running it with Parallels. I transcoded to a 8-bit 16:9 QT file, and dragged it into CCE Basic.

Set the flags to NTSC and 16:9 and clicked off audio. It is progressive.

I get and 720x404 at correct frame rate, but it always is flagged as incompatible when imported into DVD SP.

What settings am I missing?

It looks and acts exactly like an encode out of Compressor in QT Pro Player, but that one imports and the CCE one is incompatible

thanks

Regarding Cinema Craft Basic's ability to encode 24p footage using 2:3 pulldown I am not an expert, of course.
However, I found your phone number, so I am going to call you.

It will be downright bloody amazing, of course. "You have seen nothing yet"

🙂

I am usually on the innobits site a couple times a month to grab it when it is released, the item on Iron Maiden was cool BTW

Talked with Roger last night from Sweden.

Nice conversation.

I'm going to try some different things this weekend, but I believe we both agreed that the issue is how CC Basic handled native 24p footage.

Poorly.

In BitVice and in Compressor, this isn't an issue.

Poorly.

Interesting. Was it to do with the frame rate and flags?

If I read one of the posts/tests you were running it seemed that CC put out improperly flagged/encoded rates?

CC Basic cannot take progressive footage and encode it to an DVD SP elementary stream.

BitVice and Compressor can.

That's the biggest issue I've had.
