"It varies, but most commonly 4:2:0 H.264 footage from Canon DSLR cameras.
Which editing tool are you using and which OS? The editors usually use Avid MC, but it varies. I use ffmpeg for a variety of little conversions depending on the situation." Why not transcode to DNxHD (ffmpeg is able to create consolidatable .mov files) and just let the editor take that fact. 4:2:0 H264 from dslrs is super slow in Avid in my experience. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
