Hmm.

Compressor has done, dare I say, a good job of converting to DV PAL. However, now Procoder is completely fudging the transcode to NTSC, regardless of what settings I'm putting through it - getting the same motion artifacts I was seeing in the earlier transcodes. Baffling!

I've decided to ditch that idea for the moment, and going straight for a HD -> NTSC MPEG2 encode to see what happens. It's taking a very long time for a one-minute clip - at this rate will take 12 hours for a 1 hour programme. Not good.

In the meantime, have a picture of a kitten.
