noob question about delivery

[Chad Brewer]

Johan,
Forget about an MXF file wrapper here. The other acceptable deliverables are much simpler. Deliver the station either an uncompressed 8-bit Quicktime or uncompressed 8-bit AVI file that is anamorphic PAL (720×576 @ 25fps).

this is the best newbie question I have seen in ages. Stations in the Netherlands are apparently now
accepting DATA instead of a tape delivery, and it shows that ALL OF US need to know how to deliver in the required formats. MXF is a typical “AVID” type format which is not limited to AVID. .mov is typical of FCP edit systems. It is SO important for all of us to start to learn to deliver ALL of these formats, as every station will have different delivery requirements.

Great question.

thanks.

I offered the station to deliver a .mov with photo jpeg codec at 80% quality. They refused that. Ok, it’s lossy, but I doubt a .mov with no compression will be accepted.

As I read it, they ask for an .MXF container, with “Embedded mov”. Or “Embedded avi”. Or “Embedded mpeg”..????

But I will ask.

Bob, I would love to aquire the knowledge of how to deliver in .MXF. The point is, where do I get this knowledge..

Either way, the idea to record from premiere to a lousy dv codec on my camera.. seems way beyond ridiculous!

regards,

Johan

Sorensen Squeeze works with Premier, and I believe will allow you to compress to .mxf,
and it looks like there is a free trial download.

Johan,

My understanding of what they wrote is that you can deliver EITHER MXF, OR an Embedded AVI, OR an embedded Quicktime, OR MPEG-2 encoded using a constant bit rate of 8 megabits per second. Out of Premiere, your best options would be the AVI or MPEG-2 options (if you have a a good MPEG-2 encoder).

Have fun!
