Output 23.98 to 29.97 tape with correct 3:2 pulldown

I need to output a film project to DVcam tape for an online session . I've been advised that FCP won't put a proper 2:3:2:3 pull-down on 24 f projects so I've used Cinema Tools to convert to 23.98.
However, even with verifying all of my settings, such as the pull-down, and "use playback settings" for edit to tape (or print to video) - and then testing every other imaginable way, the tapes always have "hold" or duplicate frames, instead of blended BC CD frames. So reversing actually creates blended frames.
Has anyone experienced this with the new software or hardware or OS? I've got to deliver a tape tomorrow and nothing is working. I've successfully done this in the past using FCP 5.0 from a native 23.98 project so I compared the tapes and this is definitely not using the 3:2 pull-down.
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't suppose you have Shake? It'd be easy to insert a proper pulldown then and create a 29.97 sequence...
Another solution is Nattress standards converter... it will also insert a proper pulldown and it's only $99 bucks.
I mean FCP should work - and it has worked for me in the past...
The only other thing I can think of is to import your 23.98 quicktime into DVDSP, then burn a dvd and lay that off to tape. A DVD player will insert the pulldown on playback...

Digitize Beta tape with Sony UVW 1800 Betacam SP deck

Hi guys
I'm trying to digitize Beta tape with using Sony UVW 1800 Betacam SP deck. We've tried so many ways but still no luck.....If anybody has successful experience with this, please share the wisdom...!!!
I wrote what we've tried so far.
From Sony UVW 1800 Betacam sp deck to Sony media converter DVMC-DA2:
-S video cable, From BNC to RCA video cable, Audio cable connected with RCA cable.
(I've tried S video cable and BNC-RCA video cable at a time and one at a time.)
From Sony media converter DVMC-DA2 to Macbook pro:
-Firewire 400w/ firewire 800
FCP 7 settings:
-DV-NTSC easy setup
-Device control preset: We've tried Non controllable device, Firewire NTSC, Sony RS-422
Sony UVW 1800 betacam sp Settings:
-VTR setting(Local/Remote) is on Local
Sometimes we've also tried Keyspan adapter with keyspan driver. Keyspan serial assistant found Keyspan device but doesn't seem like I can have deck control on my mac...We used Rs422 cable to Mini din8 cable to connect Betacam deck and Keyspan.
But in FCP, it keep saying 'no communication'....sometimes it says 'not threaded'.
We've hooked Betacam Deck to Sony monitor to see if we can see pictures but we can't see anything or hear anything.....We can see just timecode. We have PVM-14N6U monitor and we used BNC cable to connect those.
Again, if anyone knows any small thing about this problem, please help me.
Thank you!!!!
P.S:
Even about cheap and good Betacam repair shop info is really helpful to me...!:)
Does anybody know any store which can offer service like sending a person to fix Betacam deck?
Thanks again!!

OK...this hits me:
We've hooked Betacam Deck to Sony monitor to see if we can see pictures but we can't see anything or hear anything.....We can see just timecode. We have PVM-14N6U monitor and we used BNC cable to connect those.
You connect the deck to a monitor and don't see or hear anything. OK...is the deck WORKING? Perhaps you can't capture anything because you aren't getting a signal from the deck. The deck will have 2 possible outputs....BNC that's a COMPOSITE signal (meaning SD video, a complete, but low end video signal), and three separate ones known as COMPOSITE...R-Y, B-Y and G-Y. Try both of those on the monitor. There's also one called SUPER. This is a COMPOSITE signal that also displays timecode. If you can see timecode on the monitor, that means you are plugged into this. BUT, if you see timecode and no video image...that means that the tape is bad, or the video heads are bad....because you are getting a video signal from the deck, but no image from the tape.
So we aren't even talking about the Sony converter...right now just trying to get a good signal...and you can't even do that, right? Might need to try another deck.

Is ti possible to label a set of tape with a specific media family. For eg. I want media family'xyz' to use tape only from location '1-6'. Is this possible in OSB

-Is it possible to label a set of tape with a specific media family. For eg. I want mediafamily 'abc' to use tape only from location '1-6' and media family 'xyz' to use tapes from location '7-12'. Is this possible in OSB.
-If not through media family, is there any other way to label tapes with customized lablels.
-Is it possible for a backup job to use the tapes from a set of tapes and backup should fail if the tapes are not found from the set. Even if the library has empty tapes.
I have read about Volume set, but I believe its something that is created automatically when the backup spans to the next volume after current volume is full.

Why does final cut x not recognize the sharp PN- K321 monitor ( European version ) as output video monitor and premiere it? Working with two cinema display and PN- K321 and I can not preview the output video at 4K for DisplayPort, whereas with premie

Why does final cut x not recognize the sharp PN- K321 monitor ( European version ) as output video monitor, and premiere yes?

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

How to export to DVCAM tape with timecode from Premiere CS 6?

I am having a lot of trouble with this. I need to give a dvcam tape with proper timecode to a television station for a Show I edit. I am editing for this station for last 7 years. Before they accepeted betacam, but now they changed to DVCAM. I have Premiere Pro 6 (or CC) and SONY HVR M15U deck. I connected it via firewire, then realized firewire can't export timecode. Now I am in a pickle.
Possible solutions (may be):
- Buy a card, send other signal like SDI to the deck?
- Buy new deck?
Please help. I able to print to tape via firewire, but how can I print the timecode?
Thanks
Raman

realized firewire can't export timecode.
Sure it can.

Secure backup labeling tape with volume id

I am new to OSB. I am trying to manually label a tape with a volume id using obtool.
Tried this:
labelvol drive raid_0n obtaropt -Xfam:SEE obtaropt -e:SEE-000005 5 force
I get error: Error: Volume ID is disallowed when labeling/reusing (tag is permitted)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Joe

I have another question.
I have scheduled incremental back-ups once a day.
The data is never appended to previous day's tape.
A new tape is labeled every morning and written to.
I have set the write window time to 1 week in the 'Default and Policies' area.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Firewire failure when printing to tape with DSR-11

I have a problem printing to tape with bigger projects. I can't put out to tape more then around 20mins, then the either sound or sound and picture drop.
I have everything rendered and exported to a new, not-selfstanding final cut pro file (Quicktime export) and reimported and put in a new sequence. As I found out, this causes the least problems with complex sequences, sounds etc.
The problem might be related to a occasional image drop out while working on the timeline and watching on the external monitor (through firwire). After a while the connection fails and I have to switch from "all frames" to "none" and back in order to continue watching through the deck.
I checked all settings I know, could it be a hardware problem or a problem with the protocoll of the sony DSR-11 deck (I use DVCAM).
Thanks for your time !
klaus

Hello Klaus,
I also own and operate a Sony DSR-11 which has worked out just fine for me. However, I recently bought a new firewire cable to replace my 4-year old cable and discovered that you get what you pay for when it comes to cables. After a while the new cable would slip out of the back of the DSR-11 and I would lose my connection during editing and playback. As part of the troubleshooting process I replaced the firewire cable with a "better" one and no longer experience this problem. My only critisism of the DSR-11 is the smaller firewire connection instead of the larger one found on external firewire devices. Good luck.

Tape with Unkown Format - What Apple Pro Res 422 Codec settings to use?

Hello All:
Someone gave me a couple tapes with interesting footage to use. Is there a way to determine the tape format settings so I can select the correct codec setting to use in capturing the tapes? There are a lot of choices. These are MiniDV tapes but, I don't know anything more about the cameras used or settings selected by the person taping.
Any ideas?

Thanks evertyone! For any following this thread, from a combo of sources, here is the answer (worked for me, anyhow):
1-verify deck recognition by computer:
-W/deck on, choose Apple menu > About This Mac >> and press the More Info...
-From System Profiler select FireWire. Look to see if the deck is listed.
If not, you're done => there's a problem w/ the cable, firewire ports (computer or deck), or with the deck. If it's identified, go to step 2.
2-check all settings on the deck and in FCP
On the Deck:
- be sure the iLINK CONV is set: OFF
-if iLink Conv is already OFF then check FCP settings:
FCP menu > Easy Setup and select HDV 1080i from the selections available
-finally, in View menu choose Refresh A/V Devices
Open Log and Capture .... deck should be recognized.

Trouble Dumping to tape with Graphics

Hey guys,
I'm having a real hard time dumping some video down to a tape and having the graphics work as well.
Here's what I'm doing.
I've overlayed the graphic (Targa, but I've tried everything from .PSD to .TIFF) in the second track on top of some video. Everything looks perfect in the canvas window. However, on the monitor that is fed from my deck and ultimately on the tape itself, the graphics don't look nearly as good. Instead of straight lines, they seem to bend, and the text seems to bend as well. Its really strange because I even tried to place just a shell of a graphic and fill in the text with the FCP text tool. As soon as I place the text inside the graphic, it starts to distort and bend on the monitor, but it looks perfect in the canvas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at my wits end..
Thanks,
Evan

Try this. Dump to tape with the problem. Capture this material. Do you see the problem in the canvas? If not, there's a problem with your monitoring setup. You might also want to see if you're material is within broadcast spec. Turn range check on (in the view menu) to see whether the video is kosher. If not, the simplest thing to do is apply the broadcast safe filter.

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.
