![]() I was there watching the guy try it on his playback deck and all it did was kept crashing the program. I don't have the means to get my hands on a system to play back in PAL, just thought the editing company would have this feature. By bringing it to two separate video conversion companies I thought that they would have the equipment/knowledge to wrestle such a beast. I tried MPEG Streamclip but that program would not even see the files. I tried JES Deinterlacer, and just get error messages, tried a few different setting no go (I did read the help from top to bottom). I thought we had this settled the first time. P.S: Before doing any further playback of the tape, and before giving it to anyone else to play, make sure that the 'Lock' tab on the back edge of the tape has been opened, so that no-one can accidentally If you can find someone who can play back the material, you should then be able to capture it to your Mac, and then convert it. Maybe they'll do it for nothing, or for a pint of beer. Why not look through a few video magazines and see who advertises there, or phone a few video clubs: see if someone has any PAL equipment, and see if they'd like to try playing back a PAL LP tape. ![]() ".Somehow in this great continent of ours there must be an easier way for a non editor like me with some knowledge to get results without paying say hundreds of dollars for hours of service.". So first solve (1), and then it'll be easy to solve (2). Well each is completely incompatible with the other type of engine.If you put diesel fuel into the car's radiator, and/or water into the car's fuel tank - they're both runny liquids, but they're completely incompatible with the function they're supposed to perform. or vice versa: they're both fuels for road vehicles, so why is there a problem?. It's a bit like the problems which people face when they put diesel fuel into a petrol (gas) tank. Physical (in)compatibility, plus additional video system incompatibility. but only if you can solve (1) above, and 'capture' the LP recording onto a hard disc or play it back through conversion equipment onto an NTSC tape. You wish to convert the PAL recording to NTSC. PAL playback device in Canada (.though you could try somewhere like an A/V specialist at British Council offices, where there may be PAL equipment.) to read PAL LP tape.Ģ. ![]() So (a) you may not find a compatible playback machine to accurately read the very narrow LP video 'strips' on your tape, and (b) you may not easily find a compatible (.For this reason, Sony's 'professional' or broadcast DV and HDV camcorders can use a faster tape speed (.called DVCAM.) which provides a greater track width of 15 micrometres - one-and-a-half times the track width of 'amateur' DV or HDV - just to ensure that tapes recorded on any device - such as a DVCAM camcorder out in the field gathering news - can be replayed and edited onĪny other DVCAM device, such as an editing deck back home at the broadcaster's offices.) so you'd be very lucky to find another machine which can smoothly replay any LP tapes recorded on a different machine. Given the minute differences between the mechanisms of each camcorder, even similar models by the same manufacturer, the mechanical tolerances between machines just can't cope with discrepancies of one third of the track width. When a slower, LP, tape speed is used, the tape doesn't move so far past the heads at any moment, giving a narrower track width of only 6.7 micrometres, or about two-thirds the track width of SP. (illustration from a European patent specification for recording on tapes of different widths,Īt Standard Play speed, the width of each "strip" on DV tape is 10 micrometres. When tape is recorded in a camcorder which has recording heads on a tilted rotating drum (.all tape-based camcorders record like that.) it produces recordings which consist of diagonal strips on the tape, like this. This is usually mentioned in every camcorder's instruction book, from the coy ".When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing back the tape on your camcorder." (from the Sony TRV950 handbook) to the clearer warning ".A tape recorded in LP mode on another camcorder may produce mosaic-like noise when played back on this camcorder, As I mentioned (above), that gives a very narrow track width on the tape, and no camcorder manufacturer guarantees that anything recorded in LP mode will play back onĪNY other camcorder, even an identical model from the same manufacturer.
