Re: [Avid-L2] Re-encode for XDCAM bitstream compliance?

 

From my gut I would say that it's indeed just a force transcode, the same as if the source is not XDcam already, thus compensating for Canon's 'Close but no cigar' MpegII 50 Mbits.

And Job is right, XDcamHD is always 8 channels, and nowadays mandatory for broadcasting commercials over here.

I see from a google search:

If a sequence contained media from a Canon device, you could not export the sequence to an XDCAM device. You must enable the "Re-encode for XDCAM bitstream compliance" option in the XDCAM export settings dialog in order for this to work.

If I am just exporting to XDCam50 mxf file this option is checked.  I'm not exporting to a device but creating a .mxf file.  Is there any downside to leaving this function checked.  It would appear the spirit of the function is to enable sequences containing Cannon media to be exported to an XDCAM device.  My sequence has no Cannon media so I guess it wasn't necessary to check this feature but I left it on just because it was the default setting.  It does say that this will make the export take longer, which makes sense given it's re-encoding, but is there any reason to think this would effect compatibility of the resulting file.  It seems like it wouldn't but I have no way of testing other than ama linking back to the file which seems to work fine.

Any suggestions from those not watching the World Series?
