Capture straight to .mov on Windows, possible?
Hi,
We’re using Decklink SD PCIe for analog component video to disk captures. Normally we capture straight to .avi, but a client wants .mov files since they’re on Mac (and don’t have the time to do the conversion).Is there a simple way we can capture straight to .mov files instead of .avi files? (we’re normally using Premiere Pro)
Cheers,

I haven’t seen it done yet.
Here’s a cheap and dirty workaround using QuickTime Pro (on the Mac!)
The workability is depending on the knowledge of your client, or the importance of doing it super smooth… without pitfalls.You can playback avi files with QuickTime Pro. And you can save a reference QuickTime from that avi. The referenc Quicktime relates to the avi, and works perfectly for me if I receive avi’s that are not 1:1 compatible with the application.
If you are to suggest this, make sure the BMD codecs are available at the clients workstation! And that your client knows that both the avi and the reference Quicktime are needed for this trick to work.
You can also save a self contained QT, it only takes a little longer. If it’s not a lot of footage, you could do this in your PC, using QT Pro. It’s does a data copy, encapsulating it with a different wrapper. No transcoding is done, so it’s relatively fast.
Hope this ‘ll helps you out.

Then again….
Doesn’t the Black Magic Deck Control software capture it to .Mov???

Yes, but I can’t use it because the source comes from a non RS422 controllable telecine…

You can crash-record using Deck Control.

Thanks, will look into that again even though I haven’t managed to get the input right. It’s just an YUV video source coming in. No RS422 or anything, but I’ll check. Thanks!
