Although I’ll add that I’m finding the H.264 .mp4 isn’t even being rewrapped. MTS is though.

mp4 is basically h264 mov. You cannot play mts in Quicktime, for example, but you can with mp4.
Would you call mp4 AVCHD? I guess I wouldn’t, but what the hell do I know.
I would say the mp4 is AVCHD encoded, but it’s not AVCHD. I think AVCHD needs the transport stream wrapper.

[Dave LaRonde] “There are broadcast editing applications available that allow you to edit a news story, and while you’re STILL EDITING THE END OF STORY, play it back over the air during a newscast. Now, that’s cutting it close — quite literally! Some stations rely on that capability several times a day.”
Which application is that Dave? We used Avid for the majority of our editing at my station and we used an Avid transfer tool to send the file from the edit bay to the playout server. In our case, the file could be 25 percent transferred when it would be available for playback (something we did more often than I would like). We were also able to literally playback from the edit bay with a call from the director over the PL.
But I’ve never heard of a program where you could be working on the end of a pkg, and playing the beginning.

[Dave LaRonde] “Can you do THAT in any of the editing applications you mentioned?”
With third party plugins. MXF4mac supports growing MXF OP1a files.

As fas as I know, you can’t do it with FCPX today.

[Jeremy Garchow] “mp4 is basically h264 mov.”
Different metadata but close. Actually .mp4 is the same as .m4v. You can just change the extension. You shouldn’t do that though between .mp4 and .mov. Quicktime can handle both though.
I guess to be precise AVCHD would be AVC/H.264 in an MPEG-2 Transport Stream. AVC itself can have any number of extensions.

Yes.

Are we the only ones in news that still have to deliver in split channel? We need to keep reporter track on ch.1 and mix everything else onto ch. 2.
How have people here managed that in a timely fashion using X? I know I can go into the inspector and pan everything accordingly, but that takes time.
