The main reason I was intrested in the DNxHD Codec was due to the following information from the Avid site. This was quoted by the editors working on King Kong. And i assumming they used 220 not 145!!!!!
“We recreated the trailer in the Avid, which exactly matched the one that had been done as a 2k and filmed out. We went into a demonstration screening in Peter’s theater to see whether the quality of the Avid preview was going to be acceptable. Instead, we were trying to figure out which was the uncompressed 2k and which one wasn’t. We were very pleased with the quality for this type of preview work; it’s well beyond our expectations,” says Birrell.
“As far as we are concerned, [Avid] DNxHD is uncompressed [in terms of quality]. It’s all we are ever going to want,” adds Olssen about the space-efficient encoding format.
