MovieXone and MM2

[Michel]

Hello.

I use AIST MovieXone as a usefull addition to MM2. Till now I used it only
for video, but now I'd like to use it for audio also.

My problems:

1)dv-avi file imported from a cam with the MM2 capturer: the audio content
plays too slow in MovieXone (like a 45 rmp disc played at 33 rmp) but plays
OK in MM2 or in MediaPlayer.

2) dv-avi file imported from a cam with the MovieXone capturer: the audio
content plays too slow both in MovieXone, MM2 and MediaPlayer.

The audio from the cam is 32 bits 48Khz.
In MovieXone, the Sound sampling rate in the options is set to 48000Hz.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

Michel

Hello there,

AIST say that this is because the frame order is the wrong way around. I can
not now remember which way they say to change it but obviously if you have it
set to even-odd you should change it to odd-even. Click on Tools > Options >
Import.

In MovieDV 6 the big brother of MovieXone I have it set to Odd-Even and confirm
fields set at Never.

Unortunatly it makes no change.

I just discovered this:

1) I capture the dv-avi file with MM2 (at this point the audio is too slow
when imported in MovieXone)
2) In MM2, I place the file in the timeling and save to dv-avi with not any
change to it. So I just have a perfect copy of the original.
3) I import in MovieXone. Now the audio is OK!

??????????????????????????????

By the way, are you happy with the rendering quality of MovieXone? On my
computer, when I save a dv-avi file unchanged from the original, I notice a
small degradation (a sort of slight "grid" appears on the movie). I do not
have this degradation whith MM2 (the quality seems perfectly unchanges as
compared to the orginal).Do you also have someting like that? Could this be
because the movie has been captured with MM2?

When I save an unchanged clip in MM2, it is very quick: a sort of
copy/paste. In MovieXone, on the contrary, it take more time: thus, a sort
of treatment is applied to the movie, but what treatment? Is it normal? Is
it maybe the cause of the degradation I mentioned?

Thank you for you ideas on that!

Yes, I had the same problem and I fixed it but can't remember now what it was I
did. Is there an additional small utility in the home directory here is my
shortcut "C:\Program Files\AIST\MovieDV 6.0\mpsetup.exe" -L1033 -K"MovieDV 6.0"
-S0 That utility sets the program up for PAL and deals with OpenGL settings
(Hardware and Software)

I don't suffer with that problem. It sounds as though the file is not initially
indexed properly and once you feed it through MM2 the indexing gets sorted.

No I am quite pleased with the rendered quality, in fact I just put two new
"THE END" clips on my website, they are created in MovieDV 6. On my rendering
screen I have the option of three different rendering engines, one is OpenGL,
one is M3 and the other is MX SSE2. For each of those I then have four choices
ranging from Draft to Excellent and within each one of those there are several
other options. I have never read the manual on those options and I leave them
alone.

OK, yes there is a fix for that called Intelli8622.zip. I am not certain, I
think that particular patch is for version 6. The 8622 is the build number. You
would have to check out the updates section on there web site. They created
that patch because I complained about it feeding the video through the process
even though the process did nothing to it. It now renders fairly quickly, but
Movie Maker might still be quicker on that score. I always use the highest
resolution which slows things down big time, but its running on a separate
machine and I have plenty of time spare.

Thank you,

I will try that.

Have a nice day.
