We are using Cleaner 6.5. I know its super old, but it is the only thing that is giving us the correct 4:2:2 chroma. I’ve already been certified through DG using Cleaner, but I don’t have any way of viewing the compressed files before I send off, which makes us nervous.
We own Compressor and Squeeze 4.5. It would require us to spend between $500 and $1000 to go to Squeeze 5 or Episode. We are not willing to spent that at all, we don’t need DG that bad. We’ll can just load our MPEG-2s directly to stations FTP sites. They are less sticklers about there color spacing, plus they tend to use normal dimensions. But DG seems to be the industry standard, so we can’t ignore it completely.
