Re: [Avid-L2] AMA of H264 files with compressed audio

Bouke,

This is a neat app - often I'm looking to do transcodes of material and
have to wait for Avid workstations. However on initial testing, it failed
for me. I chose a QT file (1920x1080, 29.97fps, ProRes, 24-bit/48kHz
stereo) and set up a transcode to DNxHD 145. It looked like it was making
the elements (.dnx and .wav files being created) but then those elements
disappeared and no MXFs were made.

Another file I tried (QT, 1920x1080, 23.98fps, DNxHD175, no audio,
transcode to DNxHD 36) worked fine and a single MXF was made perfectly.
