Re: [Avid-L2] Lavc57.24.102 netflixprores 3840_2160 What is this codec that I can ama but not transcode or consolidate?

We use it at Paramount.   That app is also old and I tried to steer them away from it

I'm thinking after hearing from my Netflix contact that they use FFmpeg and other in house custom apps to make their own kind of prores files.  Don't know what it facilitates but I'm sure it makes sense in their workflow.

I find it interesting that Netflix would use FFmpeg to create ProRes files.  If I understand things, ProRes created by FFmpeg is in violation of Apple's copyright.  Why would Netflix risk a battle?  Am I wrong about this?  I am no lawyer ......
