[Michael Gissing] "John, it is worth playing with DNxHD."

We have and found if far harder to encode. This is why Arri didn't offer 120fps initially in DNxHDx on the Alexa.

We get 10bit quality at 140Mb with ProRes(SQ) but would need to go up to DNxHDx 220 for 10bit.

It's cross platform but mainly via Avid's QT codec so were back to relying on the QT 32bit API.

The fact that DNxHD is an open standard is appealing, but encode and storage efficiencies for the same quality go to ProRes.

It's not that we can't use DNxHD, tho I think that's essentially the case in FCPX, we really don't want to.

What I'd really like is ProRes.mxf which Avid conjured up but that's under lock and key unless Apple embraces it.

I see ProRes and FCPX being linked so that's another reason I'd like to see FCPX flourish.
