Re: 1440x1080 DVCPRO 50i to 1920x1080 10bit uncompressed 29.97?

Hey Eric,

Honestly, you are paying the post house a lot of money for their services (I hope :-)), and I'm sure they'll continue working on your Blueray till they get it right. So doubting them in public is not really beneficial for your relationship - if you get my drift, unless you are just sampling advice to get a majority verdict...

However, if there already is a 50i version, then that should be your benchmark for the 29.97 disc. Depending on what the material originated from and what the content is, I think that you'll find it hard to see a noticeable difference on the two versions in regards to picture quality. Since you are interlaced, there shouldn't really be any motion artefacts either - unless the original source material was progressive...

I would have thought that the easiest way would be to master out to tape in 50i and then do a cross conversion from that master rather than messing about with the fcp settings.

my 10p
