  .mov to MPEG-4 AVC elementary stream h264 codec for Blu-ray authoring

  Posted by Elaine Trotter on November 5, 2012 at 5:52 pm

  Hi all,

  Editing on MAC – FCP7, exporting 1920 x 1080 prores .mov files.
  Authoring on PC – Avid DVDit Pro HD (works OK for Blu-ray)

  Problem: Mov files have different gamma looks on PC and Mac.
  Want to convert .mov file to MPEG-4 AVC elementary stream (h264 coded) on Mac and then import that
  file into DVDit Pro HD on the PC.
  Reasons for this conversion –
  1. avoid the .mov gamma look difference between Mac & PC by doing conversion on Mac first.
  2. The MPEG-4 AVC elementary stream (h264 codec) is Blu-ray compliant video and will not requite further transcoding within DVDit Pro HD.

  Can anyone recommend conversion/encode software that will accomplish this?
  Thanks….

  if you want to encode H264 on mac you´ve only got a few options:

  – adobe media encoder
  – mainconcept reference
  – apple compressor
  – episode pro

  if you use adobe media encoder, you might better look at the black level & brightness if you are using CS6. it´s got a bug, i don´t know if they fixed it now. CS5 and 5.5 was ok.

  mainconcept the same, could not create original color.

  I would have a look at compressor or episode

  cheers
