Anyone interested in talking about production codecs? I would like to consider using a "house" video production codec for our new facility. The way I see it, the following are possibilities: AVC-Intra DVCProHD XDCam-HD XDCam-EX DNxHD JPEG-2000 (?) Any others to consider? Some information on our application: -We want to be as file based as possible with solid-state media from the field and direct outputs whenever possible (see below). -We would like to produce in 720P and 1080i, depending on the client, 1080i for airing on PBS and 720P for all formats requiring deep encoding. -Our outputs include DVD (mostly standard DVDs but blu-ray in the future, I suppose), internet streaming, submission to an SD network (OSTN) in MPEG-2, an SD cable channel on Cox (live and automated output, with the hopes of maybe an HD channel in the future), and internet VOD. -We edit using Avid Media Composer and do not plan to change. I would prefer to work in 1920x1080 rather than a "thin" raster (Avid used that term for formats other than 1920x1080, if I understood them correctly). I don't think we can afford 1080@60P so will likely produce in 30P or 60i. We can work in 720@60P if need be. But I hear that it has unique qualities and not intermixable with other media. So what are the brain-trust's thoughts and experiences? Dan
