Tim,
I debated and researched for six months before I bought the KiPro. I am well aware of the differences between 100Mb Long GOP and 35Mb Long GOP. I finally settled on the KiPro due to the 10bit nature of the codec versus the 8bit codec in the other product I was considering.
Due to my confusion, my original post was inaccurate. Therefore, I corrected it in my second post by comparing ProResHQ to 100Mb Long GOP. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right question to ask when you’re confused.
I have been lurking on these forums for quite some time. In fact, I’ve become addicted to the flow of information. My girlfriend thinks I need to seek professional help. Although it does help that she has a Masters in Clinical Psychology.
I respect the fact that others are more knowledgeable than I and I appreciate how selflessly that information is passed down. It only becomes difficult when contradictions arise.
Thank you for your time,
Daniel
