Hi, I hope to get more clarification on this for me somewhat diffuse topic:
As far as I know camcorder encoded HDV 1080i is a MPEG2 compressed 8 bits video format with 1440x1080 resolution and YUV 4.2:0 croma subsampling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDV#Resolution_and_aspect_ratio Grabbed from playback of a camcorder tape over Firewire will still become a mpeg2 (m2t) video file on the PC HDD. Does Cinelerra edit and render this mpeg2 format directly or is it decoded first to another format? And, does one need to encode the Cinelerra edited/rendered video afterwards using ffmpeg to get a general playback HD video format (i.e. MPEG2/MPEG4 for DVD/BD)? Is Cinelerra also capable to edit/render a more professional 10 bits HD video format with 1920x1080 resolution and YUV 4:2:2 croma subsampling, as soon as it is made available on the HDD? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Overview Can also ffmpeg if neccessary encode this latter higher quality HD video format for BD?
