Hi Looking for critique and suggestions for hdv to web hd workflow. I like vimeo... results: http://vimeo.com/4684883
dvgrab -a -f hdv Load clips and render to 720p Quicktime for Linux using translate, deinterlace and sharpen yuva 4:2:2 planar file is apr. 5 GB per min uncompressed rgb is apr 10 GB per min. Edit and render Quicktime for Linux. As per this very informative thread: http://flowplayer.org/forum/7/12671 I got pretty good h264 results. mp4 from yuva 4:2:2 is apr 15 MB per min mp4 from uncompressed rgb is 30 MB per min the ffmpeg comandline is: $ ffmpeg -y -i 720-yuv-test2.mov -acodec libfaac -ar 44100 -ab 96k -vcodec libx264 -level 41 -crf 20 -bufsize 20000k -maxrate 25000k -g 250 -r 20 -s 1280x720 -coder 1 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -flags2 +brdo+dct8x8+bpyramid -me umh -subq 7 -me_range 16 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -rc_eq 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)' -bf 16 -b_strategy 1 -bidir_refine 1 -refs 6 -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 vimeohd2.mp4 It ended up being a bit choppier than I had hoped and there is a small audio delay. Where I was not sucsessful was trying to render mpeg2 with cinelerra as per crazed mulehttp:// crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2007/06/beginners-guide-to-exporting-video-from.htmls Audio rendered but video crashed with errors. Is mpeg any better than x264 ? Suggestions? Kind Regards Daniel Jircik http://reggaecobras.com
