Mediainfo http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo can read most video formats and will tell you the information I think your asking about. Resolution, bit rate etc. If you want more detailed analysis of a video stream and how it's compressed you'll need to look to something else as well, like Elecard.

The only way to do it with really good results with H264 I guess is to set the Keyframes to 1 so basically you just get a stream of I-Frames (as in fully encoded stills). Basically an Intra file, a file with a GOP of 1 (group-of-pictures). Wherever you host it though is going to reencode it with a

. Also, you could try giving vimeo a file with a much higher bitrate (say 30-40Mbps or so), it'll encode it down to a lower rate but at least it has a better start point. On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 4:33 AM, Alistair Stray alistair.st...@gmail.comwrote: The only way to do it with really good results

Yep thats true. The sensor is actually a CCD rather than a CMOS, so it will have a far better signal to noise ratio and a wider dynamic range. Also, CCD means no rolling shutter problems. Apparently that particular Kodak CCD gives 11 stops. The workflow will be as painful as any raw workflow
