Re: Novice Q - bit rates on HPX500/900

Hey, thanks a lot Chris. It looks like you're right. I did some more looking into the metadata and found that the bit rate is listed as 102,304. And then I checked out the manual for our Io HD (not because we're using it fr this particular job, but because I remembered it had a section on codecs/recording formats and their data rate. Anyway, it listed dvcpro hd at 6-14 MB/second, which fits with your above info.

But my question then is, what the??? I mean, obviously this is one of those things where the metrics just differ a little. But do you know much about the relationship of that 100 mbps bit rate of dvcpro 100 and the actual 10/14 MB/second throughput?

In the end, it's kind of fortunate because we don't have the storage solution necessary to support true 100 MB/second video, but do you know how it is that this works out?
