  Need help recompressing video in Media Manager

  Posted by Daniel Raim on November 3, 2006 at 2:11 am

  Hi,

  I’m reverse engineering our post production workflow (for a 90 minute Standard Def documentary) and hope someone reading this post has experience in recompressing video.

  We have about 15 hours of miniDv and another 15 hours of Digibeta footage that has been stored for about 6 years! A total of 30 hours of footage. As I see it, one option it to make clones of all the tapes, and capture at DV25 for offline and the second option is to capture everything in 10 bit Uncompressed so that it’s OFF the old tapes, backed up in about 2.5 TB.

  If we go with option #2, how long would it take to recompress an hour (or 30 hours) of 10 bit Uncompressed footage to DV25 using Media Manager? A rough estimate would be helpful.

  Also, once we are done with the offline, how does one relink to the uncompressed footage?

  Thank you in advance!

  Dan
