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

Mark,
There is little error checking now.
Few things:
ProRes as input is supported, did some tests here.
Now, if the DNX and Wave files are created, that's the most important part.
Seems that there is something else fishy about adding the metadata, or the
outputname.
Is the temp folder the same as when you tested with the working file?
Is the filename / output path perhaps a little strange (containing funny
chars or alike)?
If all fails, can you send me a testclip to toy here?
And, last but not least, are you on Win or Mac?
