Activity Forums Compression Techniques Mpeg Streamclip – multiple conversions

  • Mpeg Streamclip – multiple conversions

    Posted by Alberto Mendez on November 19, 2009 at 10:22 pm

    Operating System = Mac – Snow Leopard
    Conversion Software = MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2
    Source Codec (DVD files)
    Destination Codec = Highest Resolution Video and Audio that doesn’t need to render in FCP
    Type of Destination Use = Create Demo Reel in FCP (cut down versions of original Source material), Create Flash Video Versions for Web (Full Length)

    I have all of my documentaries I have cut on DVD’s. Most of them are about an hour in length and I was hoping to rip them through Mpeg Streamclip into the highest possible file(s) so I can edit them in FCP without rendering the timeline. I have the hard drive space so I would like the files to be uncompressed (highest quality).

    I would also like to create flash video files from the original ripped files.

    Any advice and/or settings I should use in Mpeg Streamclip would be greatly appreciated.

    thank you.

    What were the DVD’s MPEG-2’s encoded at?

    I’d go with the ProRes Codec.

    There are several Pro Res Codecs. Which one should I use?

    444
    422 (HQ)
    422
    422 (Proxy)
    422 (LT)

    Should the Quality of Video be at 100 %
    Sound = should it be uncompressed or should I use the pass Thru setting

    Frame size = should I keep it native 720 x 480 (DV-NTSC)

    Field Dominance = should I keep it upper field?

    Should I deselect the following:
    Interlaced Scaling
    Reinterlace Chroma

    thanks for your help
