Re: encoding TV-spec H264 files

I just don't want you to give up on tape yet Bob. Please, not yet. Don't go Bob.. Come on, hang in there with us a bit longer. Sony, Panasonic, and parts of Hollywood are relying on us here...

Chad, you are a baby ! BVH-2000 ! Why that's a NEW VTR, damn it - it's a youngster ! When I got into this, the geezers were saying "nothing can beat an IVC Helical 2"", and this is when the BVH-1000 (not 1100) was first introduced, and people were commonly using Quads. And I remember when people said that Beta sucked, and that it would never replace 1". So here we are today with digital delivery (and dreaded MPEG-2 encoding specs), and people CANT WAIT to never have to deal with a SRW-5500 ever again. But don't worry Chad, soon, people will say "Telestream sucks", just like everything else in history "sucks" because the "new thing" came out. It's never over. If you never cleaned out an Ampex 1" Scanner, then you are an infant in diapers.

I can't wait for the "next generation" to tell all the "old folks" that FCP sucks, and that "system XYZ" is the coolest, and only "old people" use FCP. Then I will laugh.
