Hi again.
4:2:2 scales better as there is more data as you know but generally it is more up to software like in premiere resize might be bad but for instance in combustion resize is class of its own.
So generally it is not so much up in the format specially in downscale.
SO try to test out stuff what you feel works best … as in render time etc. Generally as i see mjpg is like uncompressed with its 422 but it ads a layer of extra work on your machine.
Just test it out make different compression files resize them etc.
Regular R & D to work flow developement.—

Hi.
For greenscreen mjpg should be better as i underestand mjpg is 4:2:2 as hdv is only 4:2:0 etc.

Hi.
For motherboard and video i’d go with “safe bet” trying to see what chip sets and video have worked and go from there.
If you have no stress for testing stuff out and making some R & D
then i see no problem going this way.For displays i’d go with 24″ dual Dell 2407 (2408) 1920*1200 pixels.
Rez is really important as 20″ 1024*768 will not help you much.—

Hi.
Can not your software dealer give you nice software platform change rate to swap to mac?
If you are not tech wiz it will nor be eazy for you to make it work.
Some parts might not work at all in your workflow ASUS video board for instance. Then you have to throw it away and get new one.I have built some of my edit machines myselft but it does not mean that all the time everything work out of the box. Usually IT worker in your company does not have a clue what is going on and you have to work it out yourself. If no prior experience then it gives nice bad taste in your mouth for a while.
I’d say go with BM certified system if pc or get mac pro. You also might consider getting bigger screen or even two. Big screen with reasonable rez will probably speed up your work a lot as you do not have to open and close windows all the time.

Id go with 16 or more drives even in my array with 2K as you probably need some really fast raid 6 solution as material amount is massive and if you loose it, probably it will be death to your budget and project eny way specially timetable – scanning / converting.
Ferrari does not run without a lot of gasoline 😉
For corporate video HDV should be really sufficent if you know how to make it at its best.

Hi.
I’d say generally if you read and write to the system disk which is pretty full and dead slow you can not make it run much faster.
Let it render for the whole night and see how far it goes for morning ?
50 hours might be computers wild estimation and maybe it takes just 8. You should not sit by the computer whole time and you probably sleep also 🙂It should be relatively cheap to get 2 drive esata array and cardbus card and have your video stuff on that.
As far as i know running all on laptop system drive is bad idea in the first place. Do not expect getting sports car out of family wan.

Hi.
There are meny options beside computer and ram that may decrease your speed. External drives and how they are connected to your machine for instance. USB is dead slow i’d say. FW400 is not fast either for today. I’d go with cardbus esata and external array like CalDigit has.
Try not to have your media on system disk.For second option i’d make uncompressed MOV out of the time line and then compress it. It should be much easyer for the machine to hae tasks separately rather than having time line render and encoding in same time.
Maybe my talk has no point but it might help 🙂

More expensive is always better do not you know that 😉
Yes sales people in computer stores etc try to sell you as much as they can. You just have trust producer information there more and your knowledge and actual needs etc.
Good luck.

Hi.
I have also new Pro and it can and for the clear information please check this url:
https://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/multibridge/techspecs/
It clearly says: 2K Format Support 2048 x 1556/23.98 and 24.
Main difference i see is the amount of audio input output.
Eclipse has just more.—
