I have not even started thinking about HD yet, Orginally we were going to used MPEG2 4:2:2 @ 50 and 100 Mps. But all the different groups don’t want transcode it. they want it in a flavor they need.
This is going to be a file base library, people will be pulling from it.
So I need to find a format that looks really good and the broadcast side will be happy and will not have to transcode it. That is way I came up with DVCpro 50.
I want to be able to pull a file from the library and open it up in FCP and not have to do anything else.
I might be asking a lot, I do feel that analog was easier to design a workflow.
Thanks,
