February 13, 2019 at 6:10 pmhere are a lot of programs to convert!
ER Media ToolKit is easy to use – just drag the footage in to the program !
Use DNxHD.mov – I tried with .mxf but Davinci Resolve can’t see the footage.You can download ER Media ToolKit here:

February 13, 2019 at 6:25 pmYes I am a newby and I have been doing what you describe and have had M2t and Mp4 files which I am trying to sort out. Until I saw Ole’s note and reference I did not understand the importance of switching out of those codecs for editing. I think I have been gumming up Da Vinci as it does not destroy projects even though the user deletes them. (Until a few days ago I did not realise that De Vinci was unable to read the M2T codec) It also doesn’t seem set up to handle 30 fps 1080 i ( I am dealing with 1080 i files from an old Sony) as well as UHD from a Panasonic GS4 which I have been storing on drives but now want to sort out and archive . The files are in their original formats.
Are there good programs to convert from those codexes to the preferred ones.
Thanks for your great helpFollow UP I cannot find any software that does the transcoding to either DNxHD or DNxHR from my formats.. I am probably looking in the wrong place. I have NCH sotware that does not mention those codecs I think it must be restricted to professional sources.

While you are still around can you advise me who manufactures a video recorder that would take the output of my Panasonic 4G recording it in DNxHR Maybe I should bite the bullet.
Thanks

February 13, 2019 at 9:48 pmHi Ole I read the superb article carefully, but only found the reference to an external recorder. I have found the Atmos which looks very interesting, but I couldn’t find anything that would transcode my existing files. Perhaps I am missing something. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the information on Transcoding. That is exactly what I needed.. I apologise if I sounded obtuse, but I didn’t see this info

February 14, 2019 at 2:19 pmWhy do you want to use DNx codecs,
these are Avid codecs. If I were you I would go for ProRes because it works with all platforms (Premiere, Avid, FCP, Davinci). If I were an Avid user I would go for DNx, but just with Avid alone.
cheers
Rainer
