[Jeremy Garchow] “[Chris Harlan] “MXF is a wrapper, not a CODEC. You can easily write DNX in a QT wrapper, as well.
”Guys, I am fully and completely aware of this difference.
“
Cool. But, then, I don’t understand why you are making these statements from above:
Absolutely I’ll explain. We are talking about DNxHD deliverables, right?
“If I don’t have Avid, how do I write a DNxHD MXF?
If I get sent a DNxHD MXF and I don’t have Avid, how do I read it?
Avid’s MXF needs to allow these things to happen (without paying for a seat) if DNxHD is to be a deliverable.
ProRes readability comes with QuickTime on windows or Mac. For free.”
What am I missing?

Craig, it wasn’t an analogy. I wasn’t arguing anything. I was simply responding–wistfully–to Walter saying “Cool. Let the speculation on the “other good stuff” begin!”

[Walter Soyka] “If you hopped in a time machine and went back ten years or so to declare to a roomful of Avid editors that Avid keeps their promises, you would have been greeted with clenched jaws and icy stares.”
Ain’t that the truth!
[Walter Soyka] “I took advantage of the cross-grade offer, and I was really impressed by how Avid had improved since the last time I drove one “
And, of course, that’s the truth, too. MC 3 was a major improvement, and then it just got better and better.

Like 123 months ago, I was all non-diclosured up and working on this project for the release of a Dean Kamen project that was code-named “Ginger.” There was much Internet speculation about what Ginger was. People were thinking skateboard-shaped hovercrafts and all other kinds of wildness. I was looking at Ginger everyday–and it really was amazing; it turned out to be the Segway–but nowhere near as cool as a skateboard-shaped hovercraft. 9/11 intervened and put a kibosh on the release, so I don’t really know how it would have done on its own, but it was definitely nowhere near as cool as a skateboard-shaped hovercraft. Man, that was only 123 months ago.
Here’s wishing the next version of FCP X is as cool as a skateboard-shaped hovercraft

I think SMPTE is the right organization–especially for a standardization of XML–but I’m not sure you could get Apple interested in playing along. In fact, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t.

[Jeremy Garchow] “The GPS requires a chip on the camera, and the camera has to have the capability”
No, I know. I’ve got a little Sony HD HandyCam that I take hiking/backpacking. It has such a thing, but I haven’t been able to make much use of it. Maybe I’ll play with it a bit this weekend and see what it does with the data.

[Walter Soyka] “Collateral damage — any value Symphony had left might have just withered away.”
Not that I was ready to pony up, but any lingering thoughts I had in that direction have pretty much been quelled.

[Bill Davis] “I still finding myself occasionally getting weary of “defending” X against the onslaught of those who imply the since it don’t work for them, then its dreck for everybody.
“I totally get it. No problem.
