  m2t conversion – cineform, prores, hdv, or uncompressed?

  Posted by Angela Anderson on August 4, 2008 at 8:08 pm

  i’m currently working on migrating a sony vegas project to fcp 6.0 (which is a complete headache). the media files from our jvc hdv 110 camera were captured through vegas and are m2t files on a pc formatted harddrive. luckily i can read the files thanks to leopard, but of course can’t bring them into fcp without conversion. i could always just simply re-capture all the tapes, but i could also use mpeg streamclip and export them to cineform, prores, apple hdv, or uncompressed quicktimes. i’m having a hard time deciding what’s better – the cineform converts faster in streamclip but prores seems to play a little better in the time line. uncompressed is also ok, but takes up way more disk space, and apple hdv i don’t have a clue about.

  or should i just re-capture?
  (i would prefer to convert, only because it’s easier…)

  any opinions/ideas??
