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

Marcus,
If you like, give this a try:
http://www.videotoolshed.com/product/69/makeavidmxf/3
In short, it transcodes straight to DNxHD native Avid MXF.
So, no import in Avid, just drag clips from the MediaTool into a bin.
And, any machine can render for you, no Avid needed.

Hth,

Bouke
