No High Quality option on DVCProHD exports ?

[Shane Ross]

Nothings changed. Always that way. But you can ignore the “medium” quality…it outputs a full quality DVCPRO HD image.

But…why are you using CONVERSION? Just export a QUICKTIME MOVIE…not conversion. If you use conversion you’ll get a slight gamma shift in the image…it will brighten a little. This is a bug in QT.

The Quality slider is meaningless in that codec (many other codecs, too)…its not a variable compression codec.

with all codecs?
or just dvcpro-hd?

[Shane Ross]

ALL codecs.

Apple is aware and working on it.

I’ve noticed that — I use it (Quicktime conversion) when I want to copy over to my Power Book.

Thanks for the reply !

Just export QT movie…it is exactly the same quality, and no gamma shift.

Thats a real shame because quicktime conversion does a much better job of downconverting HD to SD than compressor does on its highest quality setting.

As good as any hardware downconverter I’ve seen.
