is re-encoding to UNCOMPRESSED VIDEO an option for you? No, because of file size.
Which pixelformat does the source video have? It varies, but most commonly 4:2:0 H.264 footage from Canon DSLR cameras. Which editing tool are you using and which OS? My job involves processing camera footage to prepare it for editorial. I work in OS X primarily with DaVinci Resolve and Premiere. The editors usually use Avid MC, but it varies. I use ffmpeg for a variety of little conversions depending on the situation. In some cases, I can convert to a mezzanine codec like ProRes while conforming the frame rate, but sometimes the editor wants to work with the source material. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
