Best Codec setting for beta SP
Hi All,
I need to digitize footage that was shot on beta SP froma pro deck. They have decklink Pro to a Mac Pro. What are the best codec settings to set up in the codec tab window. I will be exporting to a firewire 800 HD. Also when I open up the log and capture window thw window opens, but I don’t see the footage. Even after I log clips and hit batch I don’t see the footage.
Can you help? -

You don’t say what kind of drive you’ll be capturing to. The best codec generally is 8bit uncompressed. If you’re trying to save space or that FW800 drive (or something as slow as it) is what you’re capturing to, then the DVCPro50 codec is the best. It looks pretty much like UC, but will play back without a RAID.
Are your settings matching your connections? You should give more information if you expect anything more than a vague general answer.
