I don’t see the logic in VBR.
With CBR, you still have plenty of space.Michael is totally correct with the bitrate max.
(For burned disks that is.)
To get more compatibility, use Taio Yuden or Ritek disks, never cheap brands.Few things more to add:
Even with CBR, mulitple passes can improve quality if you use Cinemacraft. (You need to set it to 6 at least to have the extra functionality kick in.)But at this datarate, i doubt if you are able to see the difference.
It will be fast though, set it to 10 and let it run overnight.Your biggest quality gain will be in proper downscaling. Work on that first.

Probably not, i forgot what they where.
But, i’m sure that by specs they should have been fast enough.
(I live by specs…)
In reality, they were not.As always:
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice however…Bouke

That sucks….
I would think that if you set the params in QT, you ‘should’ end up with a clean QT….However, i am able to use FFmpeg AND add the TC to the fresh file.
And i’m probably able to create you some custom code to get from A to B.Contact me direct if you like, we probably can work something out.

QT pro does let you switch the aperture…
Would be the easiest way.
(check the properties, last tab i believe)FFmpeg can handle QT just fine (but not QT ref containing multiple clips)
Experiment with ffmpeg -i input -vcodec copy -acodec copy -aspect 16:9 output.mov
But you’ll loose TC info. (Not sure if that’s important to you…)

You can automate the razoring using a Macro that sends keystrokes for you.
(One if on my site, called ‘videoMacro’Another option is to use Recut (scene detection, xml roundtrip), also available on my site.
But what i don’t get, why not Media Manage and recompress to Prores?
This does work normally for me…
(No idea why others say it won’t work..)If you don’t have TC, you have to do entire clips.
But adding TC (in batch) is very easy with QTchange (download from my site)Bouke

well, besides FFmpeg, why not Applescript QT?

Few things i don’t get.
Why on earth are you converting to AC-3 and back to uncompressed, then to AC-3 again?
Just export the sound out of your QT, or do a second export as uncompressed sound from FCP.Next, are you sure that with the latest QT, or with the Prores codec for windows installed, TMPG enc is not able to do it?
And why even go trough this, as you got Compressor? (I know, not the best MpegII encoder, but at high bitrates, it does the job.
I suspect you end up with timing issues trough the conversion.
Did you try other durations of clips, and is it then also exactly one second?I don’t know levelator, but if you have a Wave or AIFF from source as input, does it also happen?

oops,
on re-reading, 32 gig as lowest was something i’ve overlooked.
I’ve had problems with 8 gig cards…..Bouke

The comparison with small cards with same write speeds is not fair.
Smaller cards are typically slower. So in therory, your are right that there should be no difference.
In practice, those smaller cards do not exist.32 gig is a nice balance between price / speed / capacaty.

I know it can’t alter the aperture.
But that could not be needed. Chances are that with new display settings the other app. will see it in it’s native resolution.
(so that needs to be tested…)Otherwise, use FFmpeg with -vcodec copy etc….
