Re: Another odd video problem
Code:
ECHO OFF REM FF Prompt 1.1 REM Open a command prompt to run ffmpeg/ffplay/ffprobe REM Copyright (C) 2013 Kyle Schwarz TITLE FF Prompt IF NOT EXIST bin\ffmpeg.exe ( CLS ECHO bin\ffmpeg.exe could not be found. GOTO:error ) CD bin || GOTO:error PROMPT $G CLS ffmpeg -version SET PATH=%CD%;%PATH% ECHO. ECHO For help run: ffmpeg -h ECHO For formats run: ffmpeg -formats ^| more ECHO For codecs run: ffmpeg -codecs ^| more ECHO. ECHO Current directory is now: "%CD%" ECHO The bin directory has been added to PATH ECHO. CMD /F:ON /Q /K I usually open another notepad, place the paths, name and instructions there and copy-paste the whole command into the ff-prompt. (Alt+Space, then edit - paste) The speed of transcoding is approx. 5 times faster then realtime.

Re: Another odd video problem
great thread - I am currently being sent a batch of h2.64
( H.264, 1280 × 720, Millions -AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz ) and it totally makes my system laggy.. I usually transcode to DV using stream clip - files are too big for my liking and it is taking 12- 24 hours.. it is a series of 90 minute episodes can I use this DNxHD? would it give me better performance?

Another odd video problem
DV is SD and must be reduced to 720 x 576. DNxHD is HD (1920x1080).
I have never understood why editors kick out 720 HD as it is a bastard love child format size. If you are displaying on an HD TV then it will prefer 1920x1080 and will be doing no display work to accommodate that, whereas if you make DV then it is SD and must be upscale somewhere to accommodate the TV resolution. Personally I do this at the transcode stage within my Avid or with mpegsc. DNxHD 36 works a treat. Is is faster? I couldn't tell you - but it makes more sense. Video is just a large stream of media, the difference in moving DV or DNxHD off drives (SSD in my case) is relatively negligible these days. To give you an example, I used to play SD DVpal and 5 or six stems from a USB2 drive to VO record (Reversioning) and record and mix the final mix and m&e simultaneously back to the same drive. Not bad for USB2! Breaks all the accepted good practice rules, but it never huffed and puffed at all or even hiccuped. The trick with video is to do as little work as poss - i.e. Transcode to a very native file type that your software and hardware needs to little with. I am lucky my AJA IOXT can upscale on the fly, but still I avoid even this. DNxHD is the AVE weapon of choice with HD TVs. DNxHD 36 8 bit is relatively efficient in file size to visual quality.

Re: Another odd video problem

I get the best performance from 1920 x 1080 DNxHD 36 8 bit and have started just asking for that from editors rather than them wasting their time transcoding to H.264. Internet transfer should be fast enough now to negate the file size argument. One thing I only discovered recently by watching this webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gxLZid2VR4 is that unless your video file in Pro Tools has the tick next to it, it's not "optimised" and isn't actually being processed by the AVE. Jump to 23:25 to get to that section. Now thankfully I don't have issues in PT with video (I have always transcoded to DNxHD using MPEG Streamclip) but looking back at a few old projects I noticed that none of the video in them was "optimised". Bouncing to quicktime within PT and importing that video resulted in an "optimised" video. But, I noticed almost no difference in performance (maybe there was a 1 or 2% change in the CPU usage).
