When does the PAL DVCPRO HD codecs come?
Hi.
The HVX is now “in shipment” in Europe, but we still need the 720 p25/p50 and 1080 p25 codecs to do anything fun with it. As it is (lsupposedly) Panny who controls the codecs, when do they plan to ship codecs for Quicktime/FCP, AVID and Vegas that makes it possible for us to edit the new footage? Or is the plan to leave us with 1080 i50?
Jan? Panasonic?

1080/25p is recorded in the 1080/50i format as 25psf, and the 1080/50i codec is used for this as well, and works fine in FCP 4.5 and 5.
Panasonic does not make the codecs. Apple and Avid makes their own codecs based on licensed referece coder / decoder source code.

So does that mean that all you need to do is record 1080p25 with the camera, and FCP will bring it in as 1080i25 but you tell FCP to have no Field order, thereby making it progressive? Or do you continue to edit in 1080i25 with the two fields somehow making up complete single frames?
How does the PAL version of the HVX200 actually make the 1080p25 video? Is it anything like the way the Sony HDV cameras do it by throwing away a field and duplicating the other?
Also, while we wait for the 720p25 and 720p50 codec, is there any third party software that will convert the DVCPRO HD 720p footage into something like Uncompressed 720p so that FCP can edit it? (We use the 1200 deck to convert varicam footage (DVCPRO HD) to HD-SDI….. we need either a hardware or software solution to do this!

Vegas works with 720p25, 1080i50, and 1080p25 with Raylight https://dvfilm.com/raylight
In this case the DVCPROHD codec was created independently by DVFilm, mostly
so our transfer to film customers can shoot with the HVX200 and HVX200E.It also works with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Window Media Player,
and many other applications, basically anything that supports Video
for Windows and HD-sized movies.
