I believe you actually wanting to read xmp metadata, which contains IPTC Core fields (Copyright notice, Description, Keywords).
These are listed in CatDV. Try looking under your ‘Other’ tab that displays all the metadata for the file. XMP is stored as namespaces. A list of which you can find here:

Yep, that is what this forum is here for. Glad to be of help.

Hi Christoph,
You need to double check you have all the correct drivers. Specifically the UDF drivers. I thought I had them all but I went back and reinstalled everything sxs related and I then got the correct speeds.
Try this:

You will also need the general SXS driver too:

Hi Neil,
Many thanks for the breakdown of your product. I certainly agree that NAS and file servers using the likes of ZFS are the way to go these days. Do you have resellers in central Europe?
Feel free to email me a cost proposal to my specification.
Thanks,

Bryson, this sounds great.
I have a client who is ready for this with no bad characters.
I will contact you via email.

Hi Bryson, this sounds great. Did the client use a HDD to send the assets to AWS or can this also work through upload?

Hey Bryson,
How’s it going? Any news on the Glacier project?
Cheers,

Ray, the argument could be seen both ways.
In the future there may be better tools to deal with the SD to HD (4KHD 8kHD) conversions. This is why a lot of archives such as the BBC will only archive uncompressed in the definition of the master. Now, most archives can simply not afford that the process. Keeping a 1:1 copy of the data in a digital platform is ideal but is not really achievable for most non-profit archives on a cost level.
People will even argue you are better to ingest your DVCAM as DV rather than convert it to prores. Why? Because with the DV codec there is no quality loss. This does not mean that DV is a good codec for the long term it just means that you are making a 1:1 digital copy from the tape. DV is a dying codec, I doubt it will ever truly be irretrievable as it was used for so many years. We could say that Prores is worse in this sense as it is technically propriety to Apple.
So, you have to strike the balance between Archive Theory and Practical use. Sure, having your entire archive ingested as Prores 422 HD 1920 x 1080 through a Teranex is good as it will make things a lot easier. With these archives we are essentially making new masters as people really don’t want to have to go back to the tape ever again. The important thing is to keep the tapes as well though as they are an excellent backup.
I know that if I had to make an documentary and had all my SD already converted through a Teranex it would make things a lot easier. With the tests that I have done the Teranex did a better job than FCP / Premiere in scaling. Even more advanced SD processing such as using Compressor with frame controls adjusted did not render results as good as the Teranex default settings.
You may never get the chance to ingest all of this material again and that is the danger. In the future there will be incredible software processing that can upres and pixel manipulate footage to look amazing. This may mean that you are better off not doing that original Teranex conversion.
Will the human eye ever actually notice this in the long run. I doubt it.
It is a tough one to call.
Let me know if you decided anything on this or have some other insight.

Interlace is not showing. This is why I thought I might as well get out of the interlace drama by converting to HD 25p through the Teranex.
I will try and get some tests done and report back.
