Hi,
I have using Resolume 1.51 and it's great in soo many aspects... But the biggest reason I moved to Resolume was to get DV In. I bought Resolume first (to do it before 1st of September) and then a notebook (my old PC didn't have firewire). What a dissapointment when I realized the Firewire In produces and image full of horizontal lines. Progressive mode on camera or Peter Warden's Deinterlace plug-in doesn't resolve anything.
DV In as it is now, is unusable and I think it's a pity. Firewire is an elegant solution to transport video, working for several years now, driverless. It seems really un-practical to buy a Video>>USB capture device, with drivers, without knowing if it will work, which quality, etc.
I hope DV In will be well implemented and resolved soon. I have two ideas:
1) The easiest is to implement a 720x576 resolution. This way every pixel goes to every pixel and no strange lines should appear. It's easy and it's elegant.
Has the dissavantage you need a fast computer, but fast computers are here and are cheap now!
2) To create a plug-in which deals with the layer's size and how they are mapped to the resolution Resolume is working. I explain better...
Resolume resizes any video/flash source to the resolution is working on. Passing from 576 lines to 480 creates strange artifacts.
Maybe a Size/Crop plug-in in which you can decide to resize, not resize your video could resolve the issue. Imagine you have a DV In (720x576) and work at 400x300. Maybe you don't want the image to be resized, you may want to crop the image and just use the center of the DV In image...
I hope I have explained myself!
