CineForm Neo and AVCHD

Bit Of Byte wrote on 4/12/2008, 12:07 PM

Team,

If AVCHD footage is ingested into CineForm Neo (by converting all *.m2ts media into editing friendly AVI media), would it still be very cumbersome to edit in Vegas and would you still require hugely upgraded PC?

Resutlant File Size Increase:
(HDV: For 1440 x 1080 60i HDV material, 10 - 14 MBytes/sec or around 40GB/hour.)

(HD: 1920 x 1080 10-bit 24p,15MB/sec to 20MB/sec, or about 60GB/hour.)

Would the effect of inital high compression still be evident?

"Your opinion on the ADVHCD cameras anyway?"

AVCHD cams are Fast, efficient, and effective. and the avchd format has huge potential, but I don't think it's quite there yet. Give it a bit more time though. For the moment (IMO)... mpeg2 (hdv) is probably the better bet. Having said that though, I would have no objections own a avchd cam, just haven't had the excuse needed yet to go and buy one.

Sorry guy.... I don't hand out the email without a pretty substantial reason. You seem to have A LOT of questions and I wouldn't be able to handle the flow on my own anyway :)
No reason why you can't use the board for questions... that's what it's there for. Those who feel like answering.... will.

Thanks Blink - I understand.

I was actually going to ask you about ACHVD cameras - and I think you have answered it.

If these are no more updates to the HC9 this year I will buy one.

I was talking with AVCHD support guru from Cineform at NAB about NEO with Vegas and the new Panasonic solid state cams including the HMC-150. His advice was the AVC decoder in Adobe CS3 is excellent but if you don't have that buy the CoreAVC.com decoder. Cost is a whopping $14.95 for the pro edition from Core.
