But, yeah, when I was working on the Spanish versions of "Veggietales" (with no script, just Spanish dialog sort of laid in place), I'd often search the English DVDs to verify that the dialog matched the placement when the characters weren't on screen. Really saved my bacon because I was importing PT 5.0 into 6.9 and got hit with the bug that collapsed files to sections a few samples long. |
Thanks KK, I was hoping you'd see my post. I don't know about locating to TC, or how that even works on DVD-video. But the player will take ext. sync (Pioneer V7400). What I want is for the playback running time to be the same as the OMF export within a frame over 60 min., which is about as accurate as my DV camcorder playing back w/o ext.sync has been, and way more accurate than DVD playing in either a consumer player or off my laptop, in my experience.
