Do also check http://www.2-pop.com. Most of the known FCP problems have been found, and solved (or worked around), on that forum! Cheers, Adam Wilt Calculating Drop Frame values - Adam Wilt Can some one give me the formula for calculating where Drop Frame > timecode will drop frames? Skip the first two frame numbers (:00 and :01) of every minute except for minutes divisible by 10 (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50). Cheers, AJW Hi8 -> DV - Adam Wilt Don=B4t remember the exact specs, but isn=B4t there a longitudinal = audio and > a video-track integrated one (with different bit depths?) on V8/Hi8= . There was a longitudinal mono track (analog) in the Video8 spec IIRC,= but I don't think any vendor ever implemented it. Most equipment used the a= nalog AFM track (comparable to VHS HiFi audio), mono at first and stereo in lat= er implementations. Some equipment also supported 32 kHz PCM stereo audi= o (and a couple of decks supported using the entire tape for multiple tracks o= f PCM audio!) but aside from the professional lineup it didn't see that muc= h use. As AFM is recorded with the video data and PCM is separate, PCM audio al= lowed for audio and/or video insert editing. In the DV25 formats Panasonic has added a longitudinal audio cue trac= k to D-7, to the delight of linear editors and other high-speed shuttlers all a= cross the land. Cheers, AJW Sony VX-700 - Adam Wilt What do folks here think of a Sony VX-700? Single-chip VX1000 with, as I recall, a couple of other limitations (no audio meter on the back panel? No custom presets? Something of that nature). No carry handle on the top. Can't play DVCAM. Pix looked OK but were not up to VX1000 levels of sharpness or quality. Haven't seen one for YEARS!
