May 8, 2008 at 6:58 pmI vaguely remember someone at Sony saying they went with MP4 rather than MXF for the EX series because they thought it would be easier for many NLEs to handle.
At least they say they’re going to fix the Clip Browser (Mac at least) so it’ll create a proper BPAV folder from an orphaned MP4 file.

May 23, 2008 at 5:37 pmhey Craig I’m going to edit my 2 final schoolworks next week. So I don’t have the the time to wait on the new clip browser. (stupidos) I’m going to convert tomorrow with ffmpegx. My question was what compression would you recommend? I’ve tried the mp4. mov conversion: the image was almost the same (although I’m watching it on a samsung 24″ syncmaster which isn’t that reliable) but 1/4 of the size
the thing worth saying is: the final movies are going to be watched on SD monitors or beamers so I’ll have a lot of image information downcompressed anyway.
