DVCPRO HD Decoder?

[Blue_MiSfit]

Hey folks,

I've got a lot of DVCPRO HD footage that I need to do pulldown removal on. Since After Effects is very bad at doing this, I need to use AviSynth. The files are in Quicktime containers right now.

QTInput is effective, but unfortunately there is no DVCPRO HD codec for Windows Quicktime from Apple. In other words, opening these files with Quicktime player (or mpc with or without avs and qtinput) means a blank white screen. Crap.

So I guess I need to find a DVCPRO HD decoder. Maybe I can remux these files into an MKV or something so that Directshow can sink its teeth into them.

Does anyone have ideas?

Thanks

If you've already tried loading it into MPC directly, or loading it into avisynth with DirectShowSource, it won't help to remux it. Sadly, I don't know how you would get it out short of an uncompressed avi from the mac (which can then be compressed with ffvh/ffv1 via ffmpeg, maybe handbrake could do it, if you can't just unplug an external drive and plug it into the pc).

foxyshadis,

I think some dvcprohd decoders exist for VFW or Directshow. This must be, because Avd Xpress can edit this format, and they release their codecs free of charge...

Do you know a good way to remux mov to mkv or even (eep!) avi? mmg seems to not understand mov with dvcprohd.

Thanks
