[Avid-L2] Re: Serious audio mixdown bug in v6...

 

FWIW: I worked extensively with audiomixdowns in MC6 last week and have had no problems whatsoever, source audio was imported CD/wav/aiff (no mp3), captured tape, transcoded AMA linked clips, I was mixing several mono tracks to a single mono track(s); do You happen to have this issue with stereo audiomixdowns? Happy new year, Luca

Having once lived by the motto, "It's always 5:00PM somewhere" I can't believe you can wait till after 8:11AM to start bringing in the New Year. ;-) Have a happy and SAFE "Amateur Night" uh I mean New Years everyone. I'll be playing with my new Artist Color panel and watching the ball, or is that track balls, drop. Man I still know how to Party!!! ;-0

[Avid-L2] Composer 5.5 security vulnerability

 

Update your antivirals folks

AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Stack Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution
December 30, 2011

A remote stack buffer overflow vulnerability is present in some versions of Avid Media Composer. The flaw lies in a network daemon that ships with Avid Media Composer 5.5, named AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe. Successful exploitation could result in execution of arbitrary code in the compromised system.

[Avid-L2] Re: Looking for Wes Plate - Automatic Duck

 


Tony, I can send you the medicopy download, but you still need Wes to reset your registration. I believe he is monitoring the forum. As far as the free version, he said there are some issues to sort out before it will be available for download.

[Avid-L2] Re: Archiving DV25 411 tapes

 

Thanks for the quick replies (and perhaps more than I have seen since I only
get the digest). I unchecked the "Use Avid Codecs" option for export; it made
no difference (the interlacing artifacts were still there). I played the
original Digi8 tape (s-video to a 17 inch monitor) and did not see any
interlacing problems with the original. David.

Re: [Avid-L2] Archiving DV25 411 tapes

Ah - I see what he was getting at. I do recall a case where something along those lines did happen. I remember having a go at the Avid training folks about it, years ago. I might just check as I'm testing some export scenarios at the moment.

Re: [Avid-L2] Archiving DV25 411 tapes

I kind of question the wisdom of using hard drives to archive this old tape
material. Hard drives are way more fragile than tape. They can go bad
just sitting on a shelf.

I would dub them to Digibeta or something, if you want a more durable
format.

Re: [Avid-L2] Archiving DV25 411 tapes

 

Hi Roger,
Being from 'PAL-land', I know a little about the foibles of DV PAL. What I
was questioning was Bouke's suggestion that the Avid DV codec switches
field order on NTSC DV. That would make no sense to me, but I don't recall
ever being in a position to find out for myself.

PAL DV is lower field first. Also, you won't necessarily use the Avid DV codec, unless that option is checked in the Export settings.
