I was about to bump the old thread with Sanlyn's VD settings:
https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vid...-settings.html but was given that warning about bumping an old thread so decided to make a new one, hope that was right...
When LS states that we should not uncheck the drop/insert frames for the timing settings and goes on to say that dropped frames can occur regardless and that would only stop the reporting of that, I guess I can understand that. But for the inserts, he does state that "All that accomplishes is essentially disabling drop reporting,
and prevent inserts to fight off audio skew." which implies that disabling inserts really does disable inserts and not just mask an issue.
On my captures, I always have some degree of inserts but never dropped frames, I'm using a TBC and a recommended workflow. In the past I've been earmarking captures with >20 inserts over a 1.5-2h tape, for re-capture. But things don't usually improve much. and when the inserts happen there is a notable stutter in the playback, although it does occur over less than a second, and presumably worse when the inserts are all clumped together.
My question I guess basically is if I uncheck this, but leave the Audio re-sampling part checked, my understanding is that the audio stream is then just re-sampled or sped/slowed up/down to avoid the audio skew. so same result (no audio drift) but different means of doing so? over the course of a tape I believe the math of this resampling should be imperceptible and therefore favorable to having micro stutters in the video.
am I understanding this correctly or maybe not? or perhaps do people just usually prefer an unaltered audio stream at the expense of just a few random micro second stutters in the video playback?
sorry if this was asked/answered already, closest I've seen was that third to last question posed in that above settings guide, but it wasn't really answered. thanks
