Re: best compression upon output DVCPRO HD 1080i60

Hi Shane,

The show is edited and output in HD as a digital file. When the station gets the DVCPRO HD MOV file they load it in the Avid Adrenaline and downconvert to SD via hardware for broadcast. I'm unclear on how they import the show in the Avid.

Now it has come time with this season to make SonyHD tapes for distribution which are the same shows that have already been broadcast in SD. SO my plan is to give them the shows on a drive all in DVCPRO HD 1080i60 format and have them dump it to Sony HD tape through there Avid Adrenaline. I'm assuming they have the proper codecs, just because all the previous SD shows have aired.

I just want to make sure its not being over compressed, would it be better for me to rent a sonyHD deck and output myself?

When you said NO NO NO DNXHD conversion are saying just in FCP, or in general?

The audio mixdown I was referring to is actually "audio normalization" in the modify tab. Is that something that might benefit the over all audio?

I don't have the proper hardware to do this from my editing bay thats why I hand off to the station.
