Hi Matthias The folk want 1920 x 1080 TIFF or TARGA frames. As far as I can see the MAGIX export option is something called "Export BMP Series" as a single frame series output.
As I mentioned, I have not bothered to look into this at all. This call is months away. I am certain that there is no problem here. I think it is unlikely that I will need to take the job to this point anyway. Initially they want something that can play on PlayStation3 and a codec option there is immediately available in MAGIX. So again no issues. The file size is simply a result of the compression codec used. I have used Cinepack throughout but even so, the file is not small. Again, I feel I can work with up to 4 gig files so no problem. It's shaping up. Really happy to have even got this far with the work. One issue that came to light was checking the stereo takes using the full screen ... I was using the "cross-eyed" method with transposed OD/OS streams. Bad move. The muscle strain on the eyes began to let me know I needed to stop doing that. So I check them at same size now - 63mm centres. Lol.

And: Is it only the "video" or "sound" information, which makes the file to big.
