Latest on 24p conversion for HV20
I have done it successfully with VirtualDubMPEG and the Cineform NEO-HDV trial. I haven't looked at it in a while though and was wondering if anyone has released anything that is FREE and AUTOMATIC? The virtualdub process is a pain to do for every clip and loses quality, and the Cineform is easy but isn't free and uses a proprietary format.
I have a Windows XP system and a Mac OSX Tiger system. Is there any tool on either system that will go straight from the camcorder to 24p files? Since NEO-HDV is $250, getting a copy of Vista looks to be about the most flexible way to go since Windows Movie Maker can handle the conversion I've read. |

I have been trying to keep up on this as well, but I have found no free, fully automatic solution. HV20pulldown.exe has been working well for me on my XP computer, but I can't seem to get past error messages in Vista. TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress will remove the pulldown, but it costs $99. I may invest in it, as I can't justify Cineform when this is just a hobby for me. |

Check the two free methods here:

I read it in the HV20 Need to Know post that is stickied...
"Windows Movie Maker (Vista Home Premium) appears to handle the extraction nicely (dvr-ms format) and conveniently blends the frames into a progressive image when displayed in Windows Media Center. For those viewing raw m2t you can use VLC player to see the image without interlace. No choice for Media Player Classic though. Windows Media Player won't open m2t." After reading this again though it just sounds as though Movie Maker can copy the files in such a way that they can be viewed correctly in Media Center which doesn't mean its doing any conversion to 24p. |

I use the first method on my XP computer and has worked well for me for 8 months now, but I have not been able to get it to work on Vista. Every time I correct one error message, I get another. I followed the instructions on your blog to the tee, but no cigar. Have others been able to use this with Vista? |

There's NO way Windows Movie Maker does any sort of pulldown. If anything, it's probably a quick deinterlace.

I really don't know about Vista, as I only use XP PRO at home... I have a Vista laptop that I never boot at (I mostly run Linux on it), but I guess I will to try it now. :D
Email me with the error you get. |
