  FCP 7 out put for Grass Valley Turbo

  Posted by Peggy Davis on May 7, 2013 at 12:02 am

  I need to figure out the best spec for outputting for a Grass Valley Turbo (original not ‘GVT2’).
  My original file is 1920×1080 HD 24fps.

  They have asked for Quicktime. They are not sure which codec will work.
  I read a post, maybe here, that animation codec will work.
  I will also be making a DVD for a backup.

  The file is 16:9 but the screen is 4:3. pixel to pixel the screen is
  630×480.

  I’ve been having a look to the manual (https://www.grassvalley.com/docs/Manuals/iddr/turbo/071-8401-01.pdf), and although states that imports QT files, it doesn’t mention which codecs supports. but being a device with a few years already in the market, is very possible that can’t manage the last QT supported codecs (H264, Prores,..).
  In the page 21, the manual says that the device internally records MPEG-2/LGOP (4/8/12/15Mbps).
  In the page 98, it says that imports MPEG-2 Program Stream/MPEG Layer2 Audio.

  Personally, better than a QT Animation, I would try the MPEG-2 Program Stream option.
  You can do it in Compressor.

  That’s not standard size for DVDs.
  720×480 NTSC pixels, is the size.

  Is nothing about displaying.
  640×480 is OK for web videos but not for DVDs.
  There is only one NTSC-DVD compliant size: 720×480.
  You can make a 640×480 MPEG-2, but DVD authoring applications will reject it.
