thanks for the article Karl.

I was just thinking the other day how awesomely more fast media encoder
would be if it supported CUDA.

A video that takes 45 min to encode could be done in roughly 8 min if it was CUDA accelerated.

[Nick Haffie-Emslie] “Chris – Good point. I should say Compressor scales better than Media Encoder on default settings; when Maximum Render Quality is on in Media Encoder, they seem pretty comparable.”

It’s true compressor can do a good job. Where AME does better in particular is very challenging
HD to SD down res. In particular a 720P video with hard angles (roof lines or a pyramid) in
compressor you will see some sort of aliasing, with AME it’s smooth.

I get Source playback as well, through my external monitor with Kona-LHe.

I’ve only heard that it improves quality when scaling HD to SD for example.

In my experience AME does a better job than compressor on its highest quality setting.

1920×1080 23.976 should work.

it’s progressive, so no field order.

I know, I was explaining to Jim the situation. 🙂

[Chris Borjis]

Thanks Jim, but I have final cut studio 3 installed.

I have the codecs.

they just won’t come up as codec options under the black magic or aja capture utilities in premiere.

seconded Windows media

I would do the sony pvm14. I have a pvm14L/5.

I can’t see how there would be any debate about that.

The sony hd monitor is way more accurate for grading than the cinema display could ever hope to be.

[Chris Borjis]

interesting.

I guess aja and bmd can’t just slip the option in their since they provide the interface.
