Re: What is the Best way to convert SD-SDI to MPEG2 with H264?

Are you doing this in software I assume? If so, without more specific specs, it's hard to say. Depends on what computer platform you're on, what encoding software you're using, what codecs you have available with it etc.

If you're on Windows and have a mid-range encoding app like Procoder, they have lots of presets for compressing using H264 and using the MPEG2 container.

If you're on a Mac, others on the list can give specifics depending on what you have software wise.

But it really depends on the end-use of your MPEG2 file. Is it for broadcast? Does it need to play for a presentation off a PC? What's the audience for your file?
