    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption.

Strange color interference

Please see the attached picture. This color band shows up very briefly twice in the clip. It does not show up in the original MTS file, nor when that file is transcoded to a WMV file on my PC. I am thinking it is a Mac issue, happening when I was uploading the MTS file to FCP from my external hard drive. All other files that I uploaded from the same Private folder as this file came out fine. Anyone seen this before? Thanks.

It's a momentary misreading of the data, probably due to hard drive speed, RAM or some other factor.

I am thinking that might not be it. Because I transcoded the same footage a second time and this occured at the same spot and for the same duration, suggesting that it might be a fatal misreading of this particular portion of the video due to the fact that it is transferring directly from an MTS file. I have been told on another board, that the problem might be the fact that FCP does not play well with MTS. They advised transcoding the MTS file into prores 422 first, before doing the log and transfer. Now, my next step is to figure out how to do that.
