I am producing a program series which I intend to license to TV channels mostly in Europe. What I learned is the standard is rather 1080/50i. The program should be interlace as progressive materials can be rejected.
-
Yeah, I’ve checked requirements of BBC channel at their website. In 2008 they accepted progressive, but now it’s only interlaced and BBC is a standard I guess.

Yeah, but PSF is still progressive in terms of motion fluency. I had many problems with my program which I shot progressive especially with swish pan shots.

Thanks for answer Dave,
but what is the standard now, from the producer’s point of view? If you want to sell a program to different tv stations, should you shoot interlace? I hear interlace is a standard in broadcast, either PAL or HD. My tv station for example rejects footage that is progressive.
I read that LCD tv sets (these days they dominate) can’t interpret interlace well, so why broadcast standards stick to interlace?

Eugeny,
it seems to work! What should I choose to save the file? Save as or export? I don’t want to recompress the video.
-
Eugeny,
if it works, you just saved hours of my life :-).

Martin,
OK I created a command line that seems to work:
ffmpeg -i test.mov -i test.wav -vcodec copy -acodec sb16be -map 0:v -map 1:0 out.mov
I got a few questions.
How do we understand streams? How can a video file have more than one audio or video stream? When we use ‘map’ command, we indicate a stream, 0:0 means “first stream of a video”? I always though a video file has one stream of audio which can consist of two channels (stereo audio).
-
I will try these compressors you mentioned. Sometimes I need to do corrections just in audio, so exchanging audio in a DNxHD without rendering the whole project again would make my life easier.

one very experienced editor who works for tv station I am working for too, said there is a difference and the most suitable for me are 1080i color bars.
-
ok, insert edit doesn’t work but my life would be way easier if I could at least mux video stream with audio or swap audio in DNxHD file. Have u tried this?
