For that matter, I prefer image sequences. Give me an example >> of a single program that natively handles mpeg2 video and I'll show >> you 4 that don't. what? wake up, mpeg2 is being used in all the market MPEG2, XDCAM, mpeg-DVB, if I am working in news, and some one comes with an old DVD with images that you can´t find it anywhere else, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT MPEG OUT to use in your timeline, even cellphones videos are used in news.
why matrox, canopus and pinnacle will spend a lot of money to have REALTIME MPEG EDITING products? you think the market is wrong? and most times, TV shows like we have in may country has to save everything on disc, and data-DVD with mpeg2 files is the most economic answer (every 28 minutes tv show you can have 5 hours of unused footage... maybe you want someday reuse that as FILE material, but you need encode if FAST). having sequences IS NOT the solution for TV shows, pease name 1 IN THE WORLD which is edited with image sequences... I work in a TV equipment supply business... I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF SOMEBODY IN THE WORKD EDITS WITH IMAGE SEQUENCES.... or even better pack them in an avi, and go back 15 years back to M-jpeg... I don´t know any tv show edited fully with mpeg2 files, but there are 4 TV shows (planeta surf, surflife, MDQ surf and locosXelsurf) here in my town alone, SURFING related, that uses 90 % of images from its sponsor´s DVDs, like quicksilver and others, because those producers can´t traver the whole world weekly to find waves.. so they use DVD provided by the sponsor (he other 10% is DV or DVCAM recorder in our beach) the local news: Telefe noticias, telenueve, and 25 other TV news (that I know) uses MPEG2 or mpeg 4 from cellphones in its production, so the editor don´t have to convert anything (they use ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 which USES MPEG2). EL OJO CURIOSO, COMUNIDAD PORTUARIA, EL SHOW DE LOS NUMEROS... those are SOME of the TV shows I have worked for in a studio until 2006 , they all use MPEG at somepoint. the cable operator asks the TV shows in MPEG2-PS for emision, and sometimes, they OPEN YOUR TV SHOW to put adds between yours. this is just my short experience, AVIDV (unfortunately), QT-DV, and MPEG-2 are the most speaded formats in the industry... what is .DV? is it compatible with something? I love RAWDV, but you can´t FIT a NLE if you can´t deliver industry standard formats. I hope you can give that to cinelerra, if cinelerra embraces industry standards, many companies will be interested in making bussiness, an maybe you could find some sponsoring there, or even if some CIN3 foundations is stablished, you couls make bussiness with matrox which will release the SDK, but they will SELL the hardware.., so maybe a editing linux box with REALTIME OPTION for matrox RT.X2 would be GREAT, believe me. leave that door open. Sory for being critic again, and write so much. Marquitux from Argentina. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
