Re: [Avid-L2] client needs window viewing dvds

 

As limitations go that's a pretty big one ...

I use ffmpeg to encode with BITC instead of generating the overlay in Avid. It's not for the faint of heart, I've had to develop scripts to make it seem simple. But it's very fast: export same-as-source from Avid, and then encode 2-4 times faster than real time, depending on output resolution. One limitation is that I haven't found a way to get it to read the source TC of the input stream, it always starts from 00:00:00:00. I usually deliver an .mp4 file rather than a DVD because most clients have computers/TVs/BD Players that can play them.

Have not had luck adding TC filters after export or during compression.

Lou,

Can the DIT run the files thru Squeeze after/as he's copying them?
Add the TC filter and output Mv2 for disk.

I have a client going into a doc shoot. Im going to edit. she wants viewing DVDs for everything they shoot. I understand the need and want to help but for me, this is a huge time suck and there is no money for it. From my experience, you have to load in F3 footage (AMA and transcode) layout a timeline, put in tc generator, render (huge render) and export QT (QT reference won't work with DVD software) and then compress for DVD and burn. Huge time suck.

Is there a service that I can point her to that does this? Maybe you send in the drive and they layoff media to DVD at a reasonable rate?

thanks
