    Transcoding

    Posted by Dave Edwards on August 23, 2013 at 5:51 am

    Having struggled to have MC 6.5 ingest AVCHD (pipe stall error on long files) I’ve found that it is willing to go the AMA > transcode route. Are there any practical differences between the files created?

    I would consider doing the AMA/Transcode for pretty much all file based video ingest.
    I only use import for the odd file that does not work correctly via AMA.

    AMA/Transcode usually is several times faster than “legacy” import.

    Thanks, John. I have to say that even AMA / Transcode crashes from time to time but not as frequently.
