Hi Joe,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. Cash is key unfortunately and I don’t have any! This is why we’ve not been able to go to the Avid approved list and I’m afraid I’m looking for a work around (but then working in TV is all about that anyway isn’t it?!).
So after a long install process yesterday, I’ve managed to get a copy of Avid Media Composer 2.8.1 running on an HP laptop I found and using the right dongle.
The Machine specs are below and it seems to work however I need to be able to convert files to .flv (from the Same as Source QT movies exported from the Avid) – these will be uploaded on location to the webtv channel we’re filming/editing for.
Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the QT files in that RIVA encoder won’t process them. We’ve had this before and solved it by flattening media, reexporting etc but nothing’s working this time – any ideas?
