Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Encore Video Sync problem

I've been told not to allow Encore to do the encoding, so I do it in
Squeeze.

Reel DVD is not doing any encoding either.

Clips appear to be the same length on the Encore time line, but if you
play them in preview, the video goes to black about 3/4 of the way down
the time line - and the sync goes off more and more through out the time
line.

Have done a work around by taking the files into Premier, and running
them through Premier's compressor. Then they seem to work, but that's a
PITA when working with Avid, so I normally just to back to Reel DVD.

Found lots of mentions on line about sync driving 2 or 3 frames, but
never 2 or 3 minutes.

Thanks!
Mark
