Hello
I have just had the same experience in PAL land – HDV 1080i – an 80 minute HDV timeline exported to ‘same as sequence codec’ resulted in a horribly pixelated file which was only 2.5 GB in size – when it should have been (at 5 mins per gig) about 16 GB. This resulted in me missing a deadline. Export to ProRes was fine, but I don’t want files that big hanging around on my disks.
Anyone? Thanks.
