Re: [Avid-L2] NanoFlash n Avid Major Issues

I don't know if this has changed, but the version of the codec they were using inside the mxf wasn't actually Avid compatible - the 100Mb was, if I recall correctly, 100Mb XDCam, and I think Avid is only set up for 50Mb. It looked good in pause but would stall after playing a little bit - I don't recall the wording exactly, but it's like... buffer underrun. I won't be much help to you because I haven't run into the problem for probably 6 months... Transcoding was my solution; I didn't notice a loss of resolution - but we typically deliver on SD, at the client's request, so I probably wouldnt of noticed a mild softening on the jobs I'm thinking of.

My experience with Convergent, though, was very good - they understood the problem and explained it clearly. The should, of course, warn you BEFORE you record that the higher bit rates may not work in Avid.

Hope that's a little help.

They are now telling me that when the footage is brought in natively and transcoded to DNXHD 145 it's "soft" when compared to the backup DVCPRO HD tapes. They have spent weeks trying to resolve getting the footage in correctly and I am going to make a house call to figure out what the problem is. They've even contacted the Convergent Design and they have kinda of blown off the Avid workflow saying that .mov's are better. I wish I knew this prior to the shoot. My previous experience with this device was always with FCP where we used .mov's and I've never had a problem with it. I decided it would be easier to shoot MXF in this case because the files should go into Avid natively without issues. Boy was I wrong.
