Re: H264 Codec

And I just did the opposite. 1 reel of DNxHD36 (4GB) to H264 (maximum quality, every key-frame). H264 is more than 8GB after conversion but looks the same and took about 1 hour via QTpro on my MacPro (specs below) Frank.

I don't have any DNxHD movies to start from, I receive H264 ALL the time -- even if I ask for something different....

Do you have a waveform monitor? It would show you what is going on. 709 color levels go from 16 (black) to white (235). My guess is that you had content that was 16-235 (Rec 709) and it was converted to 0-255 (not Rec 709) and that is why it looks washed out. Bouncing out QuickTime movies when working with Mojo SDI would result in washed out movies, and it's been years since I researched the issue, but its definitely related to one range being mapped to the other. Either 16-235 was expanded to 0-255 (more likely) or 0-255 was clipped on the bottom and crushed on the top to 16-235 (less likely).

Re: H264 Codec
Thanks for the tip on Mpeg Streamclip. Any recommendations for a good codec for smaller pixel dimensions? Looks like the DNx only does 1080 or 720 and I use smaller files often. Thanks.
