Re: OT - video file deliverables

[Paul Dougherty] "-they implied they do not have that kind of expertise in-house.. which can't be true."

Oh, its true. Really creative people have been known to make a virtue of having no technical foundation.

Anyway, yah, hitting the same issues... H264 is taking over for what they want for their desktops and streams. Many over-the-net distributors insist on XDCam MXF deliveries, which is not much better than a so-so BluRay, but its going to have the hell compressed out of it anyway so that it fits on the broadcasters' servers. ProRes would be the "glass master" that you may as well keep. And I hear "Uncompressed" at least as I used to know it, less and less but now the ProRes QT is the one that is regarded as "Uncompressed".
