OT: CineForm now a SMPTE standard

[Jeremy Garchow]

[Walter Soyka] “If the process were about maintaining a semblance of quality for ProRes, I wouldn’t expect language like “benefit the Mac platform as a whole.”
“

That language was from someone’s forum comment that seemed to be alluding to what the agreement says. What is the actual language, or is that the actual language?

[Walter Soyka] “Apple is a distributor. A big one. What are their delivery requirements?”

That shouldn’t be a shock? Why would want to accept anything less if you were Apple? I can’t play DNxHD on my BluRay Player no matter how hard I try. Damn you, Sony!

And Apple isn’t saying that you need to edit your entire program in ProRes, it just needs to make the final file in ProRes, and if you don’t have a Mac for that, I am sure with minimal fees, you could find a service to transcode your movie to ProRes. It’s a lot cheaper than having to buy an HDCam (or D5 or SR) deck to make HDCam masters.
