Think: MXF for "file format" (actually container). If you can, talk to
Bruce Devlin at Snell & Wilcox. Or, maybe Martin Holmes will respond
directly.
MXF is SMPTE S377M. It's vendor-independent (mostly), but there are
flavors. Avid, Sony and Snell support it, and others are on the way.
And, you really should become a SMPTE member. If you haven't taken the bite
already, I could use points in the refer a buddy program.
Can't tell you much about codec, except that gamut is the place to start;
codec is a station further along the path.

Perhaps I should also separate "codec" and file format. I would enjoy
discussion of both. I am sure there are additional file formats available,
so please add them in.

[opendtv] Production Codecs
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
