DVCPRO HD for CineVision
Hey there, i just captured some 720p 59.94 frame footage, at the DVCPRO HD codec on Final cut. i have an 80gb file, but when i go put it in CineVision, it says i can't convert that file.
Is there any way to use that codec in CineVision? Am i going to have to capture the footage uncompressed in order to use it in CineVision? That is difficult as we're talking 90 GB versus what could be close to 900GB in terms of capture space, not to mention a need for a Raid for the uncompressed. Should i just convert the captured DVCPRO HD .mov quicktime file to another codec, and then bring it into CineVision. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is my 1st attempt at HD footage and blu-Ray so any guidance and assistance would really be appreciated. Thanks! |

DVCPRO HD / Cinevision
I have tried the trial version of RayLight, and while that lets me open the file on the PC, CineVision still does not accept the file for Blu-Ray encoding.
Hey Eric69, so i am assuming you have a real fast RAID set up to capture uncompressed at those file sizes? And do you use CineVision? |

Reference. I don't use a fast RAID but have about 2T of HDD space. Just export to uncompressed QT and bring this into Cinevision. |

The rumor is that Main Concepts is the same AVC encoding engine as Cinevision. I don't know if thats true but it sounds like Sonic who is notorious for licensing other's hard work and passing it on as their own - at a much higher price. Cinevision has segment encoding which is nice. But the only reason I use Reference is because its the only one I can afford.
Did your 8bit conversion work in Cinevision? Last edited by Eric69; 13th June 2008 at 02:02. |

Hey Eric,
I did a test conversion of a small piece and it did work. I need to go get a new drive and swap my setup a bit. i used to capture on 2 Raptor drives (74gb and 150gb) so I'm going to pull the 74gb, and throw in a TB. I went with CineVision because I had liked the segment re-encoding for true control of the look of everything. It's my first time getting into this. My standard def encoding is so simple and straightforward and easy, so there's just more to learn on doing the Blu-Ray. Hopefully I'll be good to go soon. I thinking I'll end up having to get a RAID setup for uncompressed capturing. |
