    MSPro7's slomo looks smooth, almost as if a field adaptation had been performed.

    Regardless of how you play them back it's hard to tell them apart, and that's using a clip with a fast pan across a frame with vertical objects. I'd give MSPro7 a slight edge for less aliasing on diagonal edges, but otherwise it's a wash.

    Check 'em for yourself;

    MSPro 7.0 DV @ 50% SloMo ;



    RT.X100 DV @ 50% SloMo ;



    You can see the difference in aliasing in the round cutouts on the platform at the left, the yellow horizontal frame member and on my sons left arm.

      Just a quick response to correct what Jeff B claimed.

      Jeff B's so-called 'Macrovision' problem was never UNIVERSAL as he has suggested.

      The truth is only a few individuals could duplicate his problem.

      The flame war was triggered by Jeff B when he SHOUTED the following:

      "MSP 6.5 Power Patch Ruins DV Playback"



      As the thread proves, many individuals could not duplicate Jeff's problem and had perfect performance from the patch from the get-go.

      I would suggest that TRULY constructive criticism would alleviate the flame wars.

      For example:

      Instead of shouting 'MSP Patch Ruins DV Playback,' ask a question that is friendlier and not so accusatory...

      ...Is anybody else having this problem?

      [describe problem]

      [jointly work on problem]

      Jeff B also failed to point out that I tried to assist even to the point of taking my Sony DCR-VX1000 home and testing that Sony camcorder on my two OHCI systems... to be certain.... and still could not duplicate his problem.

      As I mentioned then...

      ...and as I'm stating now...

      ...I never had a problem with the original patch.

      Period.

      Again, I would suggest that a change of tone would be far more constructive in the future.

      An assault on a product that suggests a given problem is universal is both unfair and irritating to those whose systems are functioning well.

      In addition, the MPEG issues only affected those who were using VBR encoding and never affected those of us who use CBR encoding.

      And one other thing...

      I have worked behind the scenes on NUMEROUS issues.

      I have played key role in getting some serious problems FIXED.

      Oh, but you don't know anything about that, do you, Jeff?

      No, I didn't think so.

        Jeff's right in that with any newly upgraded software there will be issues the betas and SQA missed in that some oddball combination of effects and/or video streams are bound to screw something up that will have to be fixed.

        There will be other issues will occur on certain specific hardware/OS/driver setups that won't occur on others and will be very tough to track down.

        That's an unfortunate fact of digital life, but we've lived through them before and will do so again.

        Just be glad it isn't Premiere. I still don't understand after all this time why when you accidently import a DV type1 file it doesn't just give you a simple dialog informing you that it doesn't support that format instead of crashing out to Windows in the middle of a project

          It's true, Jerry, and you're right about that history. The problem ended up being a single file that didn't get updated in the original patch, and it only affected a small niche of users. However, it was a real problem, and it did ruin DV playback for me, and for others.

            I agree that problems do and will happen, no matter how well the beta testing is done. As a Scotsman who hasn't lived in Scotland since 1951, except for a wee stretch in 1957, I've retained my national characteristic of forthrightness, which is a nice word meaning I don't have a definition for diplomacy. I'm even famous for opening my mouth and putting my foot in it . Maybe this is how I earned my sobriquet. However, if any of us offends any other of us by the use of what is not the best choice of words (easily done on a keyboard), may I respectfully suggest that the offendee take a deep breath, analyse what the offender is really trying to say. extract the useful and reply tactfully, rather than going into a long screed from a flammenwurfer? No names, no pack drill.

              Take a hike Brian. I'm sick and tired of your diatribes. All I stated earlier in this thread was a simple thank-you to Doc for posting this MSP7.0 info. Only you could possibly misinterpret what I said, turn it around, then dump all over me. If you were thirty years younger I'd go over to Cyprus and kick your butt. What.... you weren't addressing me? You were referring to someone else? Umm.. ah.. geez, sorry buddy. I find this time of year to be most stressful. I'll be moseying along now.
