  Video conversion help needed

  Posted by David Perry on February 19, 2009 at 10:22 pm

  Hello,
  A while back I shot a show with 4 cameras ISO to DVCProHD. One of the disks had an incorrect codec RawDv. It comes out as colored pixles in the viewer. I found a product MainConcept Reference that can see the RawDv file and transcode it to H264 quicktime compliant formats. However, the only one that seems to work is mpeg4. When I encode a 1.7 gig file it reduces it to 122meg and the quality, although fairly good suffers in comparison to the original files.

  Does someone know of a program that will give me better results. Or can take the DvcProHD file to a quicktime compliant HD file?

  One other thing, I don’t understan why Windows Media can see this file properly and Quicktime cannot.

  Thanks for your advice.

  Also H264 is not a very re-editable format.
  Had you tried opening the file with MPGStreamclip ?

  Yes, it is just a scrambled image. I believe the clip has no codec wrapper. I can read it in MainConcept Reference, Windows Media Player
  but it is just scrambled in Quicktime.

  I found my answer. Focus Enhancements makes a FS HD Converter that does the job perfectly. It was so easy – perfect conversion.

  Thanks FOCUS
