Creating a DVD with a Counter (or Timecode)

[boydsharpe]

Hi,

I have what seems like should be the easiest thing in the world to do and I've been trying for 3 days straight.

I have a 60 minute MINIDV Tape. I want to provide that raw footage to the client on DVD for review. I've done this many times and have had no problems. However, this time, to help with the editing process I want to display a counter (or timecode) on the footage so they can say, "Use 00:00:23 to 00:01:49 for the intro." etc...

Is there not a way to do that. I'm using Adobe Productions Studio 2.0. They will probably be watching the footage either on PC (with DVD Drive) or on a home DVD player

Thanks in advance,


Boyd Sharpe

It is also possible to add the timecodes with AviSynth, but of course, you have to re-encode everything.

You could run it into a DVD recorder, with the time display on. Or have them turn on on screen display on their DVD player and you'll know the time relative to the start of the footage.
