Samsung NX1 + Nikkor 180mm/f2.8 + 2xTC
While transcoding H.265 to ProRes 422 HQ on Rocky Mountains Converter, it crashes at the very end, stating their was an error, and the final product is unusable.
Anyone having this issue as well?
Transcoding to H.264 works just fine.
Is everyone leaving the quality setting at the default of 10, or have they found a better quality level for their NX1 footage?
Thanks!
Do I need to get the full Power Director Suite to get proper H.265 to ProRes HQ conversion, if that's all I'm using it for?
I think any will do, they have Trials, so you can check yourself. I think it won't produce ProRes anyway, have no idea why you need it with H.265 source.
Fair enough. :)

Any thoughts on P.D. as compared to EditReady and Rocky Mountain? Thanks!
We have some communication issue, I provided link for PC software (that can be used as NLE or just as converter). And I have nothing to do with Mark converter talk.
And... EditReady, as Mark recommended, is for Macs. Unless you know something I don't.
Rocky Mountain is pretty good and its free.
Being that video is 8bit, does it make sense to transcode to ProRes HQ? My transcoded files came out pretty big and they were all 1080p.
I haven't tested yet but has anyone tried SQ and LT flavors for their NX1 footage?
Just test it. Drag a clip into it, the drag the resulting file into your editor. The program is FREE, test it yourself to see if you like the results.
As I mentioned to Mark, I use a PC
And?
As I mentioned to Mark, I use a PC. Does the Rocky Mountain converter have major transcoding issues?
from what I've read to maintain color accuracy with with editready or any of the other transcoders you need to shoot in 16-235. Thats what someone from EditReady said over at EOSHD's forum
@markholmes Thank you for the suggestion! Will check it out.
Edit: Damn! Only available for Macs. I'm a PC. Any other suggestions?
And I'm using the Adobe Premiere Pro CC Suite for editing, but thanks for the suggestion.
You asked for accurate, fast GPU accelerated converter (with ability to fast trim things), use it, even if you want to edit everything in CC.
I am calm (or at least reasonably so). ;) And I'm using the Adobe Premiere Pro CC Suite for editing, but thanks for the suggestion.
John Toll - I've been very happy with EditReady, on the recommendation of Andrew Reid at EosHD. I convert to ProRes LT and see no banding or crushed blacks. Wish I could find something to convert for editing in Sony Vegas tho.
When does a forum reach consensus on anything? For me it's Photon: ProRes Mode 2 at level 2 gets me results that I like. It's preference really.
So, is there any consensus on a quality H.265 file converter that does the least amount of damage to the original footage - i.e., doesn't introduce banding, crush blacks, change brightness/contrast, etc. ?
