  Can’t create XDCAM HD 422 @50 renders

  Posted by Joe Pitts on October 26, 2009 at 2:11 pm

  I am trying to do this:
  to restrain storage requirements, i am trying to encode incoming source material, some DV being uprezed and some HD, to a common codec XDCAM HD 422@50Mbps. I’ve used the 720p codec in the Apple set for final cut pro and most of the transcoding of the material is being done in Compressor. But when I make the transcode it shows up with these specs from”VideoSpec”:

  *** Video Track Parameters ***
  Format: xd59
  Size: 194 MiB (99%)
  FourCC: xd59
  Bitrate: Max.: Undefined
  **Average: 27.1 Mbps**
  Min.: Undefined
  Frame rate (fps): Max.: —
  Average: 29.970
  Min.: —
  Bitrate mode: Variable
  Encoding profile: Undefined
  Resolution: Undefined
  Width (Pixel number): 1280
  Height (Pixel number): 720
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1:1
  Display aspect ratio: 16:9
  Chroma subsampling format: YUV422p
  TV standard: Undefined

  with the bitrate around 27 Mbps but the chroma sampling @YUV422. Also this is supposed to be a CONSTANT Bitrate and it is shown as a Variable

  the fourCC code shows xd59 which only corresponds to a MPEG2 encode but the colorspace is yuv422
  also when it plays in Quicktime it shows it as ;
  Apple XDCAM HD422 720p60 (50 Mb/s CBR), 1280 x 720 (1248 x 702), Millions
  but it should also be CBR encode not VBR as the sony spec is for CBR @ 50Mbps
