System Flush Finally Fixes Developing Problems While Trialling CF
No. I manually reinstalled the transportx package, but had to do something else first before I could do this (maybe remove all packages). Interestingly, recent crashes haven't disabled the package.- Newcoppiceman

System Flush Finally Fixes Developing Problems While Trialling CF
Back in November 2023 I installed CF 1.03.12 - 3.13 on our HDR-FOX T2. In practice, I've not made much use of it, although the ability to single-step frames with the transportx package has been a very useful feature. Prior to this, and after almost ten years on 1.03.12, the only issue we'd...- Newcoppiceman

Start Up Fails When HDD Connected
There's a risk of damage to the board with cutting, in particular you may lift tracks - which is really bad news. Provided the soldering iron is intended for electronics work and is 25W min (say 50W max) you would be better desoldering. Some skill is required, but you say you've had some...- Newcoppiceman

Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package
My old S-VHS machine's remote had a jog/shuttle wheel and transportx goes some way to duplicating its functionality. Using it I determined the panning shot (see original post) lasts 145 frames, all different except: 12=13; 37=38; 62=63; 87=88; 112=113; 137=138. So that confirms original 24fps...- Newcoppiceman

Yep, that worked fine - complete TS file is 1.18GB. No NTS or THM file this time, though; is their purpose explained somewhere? Unfortunately Windows Media Player won't play, and the Promax TS analyser software doesn't like it.- Newcoppiceman

Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package
Chewing this over with other members of the BBC Engineering Facebook group, it's likely we've identified the problem with the programme, namely production at 24fps and then poor conversion to 25fps.

That's a "yes" then.
