5DtoRGB for GH2 - advantages vs disadvantages?
We are transcoding a ton of hacked GH2 footage for use in Media Composer 6. It will not import the hacked files so I am looking for an alternative. Would I be correct in thinking that using Adobe Prelude CS6 to transcode all the GH2 stuff will provi…

5DtoRGB for GH2 - advantages vs disadvantages?
Same question as rozroz. We know FCP 7's avchd import sucks, but what about Media composer 6 dnxhd ingest? Big difference to 5DtoRgb with reds and all that?

Using ffmbc (FFmpeg for broadcast) for AVCHD rewrapping & conversion
Also, Media Composer does NOT import HACKED MTS files OK. All my MTS files from my AF100 import fine but not from my hacked GH2. But yeah even better reason is the reel names and timecode...

Is it possible to use FFMBC to make DNxHD MXF files and then add your file name, tape name, timecode and thus copy into Avid MediaFiles without rewrapping? And is there any advantage of using FFMBC over using FFMPEG quality-wise etc? I heard somewhe…

Thanks for all the info towi. After weeks this is still kind of a headache. Your Media Converter workflow ticks most of the boxes except that it doesn't seem to work with spanned files, although the workaround for this is the "cat" co…

Hi towi. Could you give a more detailed explanation of your workflow? "My workflow: batch rename MTS files (Using what, to what kind of names? Why do this?) batch convert MTS files through Media Converter to DNxHD (QT mov) (Will this work with…

Hi towi, this sounds like a good workflow. Am I correct to say that "fast" importing the DNxHD QT files to MXF OP-Atom files is just a rewrapping and not re-encoding/affecting the image quality? Also what do you think about converting fro…

Using ffmbc (FFmpeg for broadcast) for AVCHD rewrapping & conversion
I have been using the "cat" command and sending the files to 5DtoRGB for prores encode (no DNxHD on mac,) then AMA them to DNxHD in Media composer. I have a lot of files so this is a very slow and tedious process. "And of course you …

DNxHD Quicktime files don't play well in Premiere Pro 5.5 ? Do the MXF ones play well? Also, if I transcode everything to DNxHD .mov files, will those not play in Media Composer? Are you saying I will have to re-wrap them AGAIN to MXF? In that…

I think MTSmerger is Windows only right? Wrapping to .mp4 is a good tip. My immediate purpose is to rewrap spanned MTS files so that 5DtoRGB can read them and convert them. Thomas said that one of the next updates should include Mac OS X DNxHD expo…

Great thanks so much for the extensive response. I have been looking in the documentation and other forums but this is much more helpful. What about if you have spanned clips and want to rewrap them into a single .mov file without transcoding? AVCH…

GH2 post-production workflows
@towi @sampledi Thanks for the explanation of your Media Composer 6 workflows. Can you post your Mac workflow? 5DtoRGB can't convert to DNxHD on Mac yet. Also what about spanned clips? Clipwrap sometimes combines the spanned clips into a .mov …

5DtoRGB for GH2 - advantages vs disadvantages?
Any news on spanning files? Clipwrap converts to a single prores .mov file from 3 files (00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, 00002.MTS) but I don't see how to get 5DtoRGB to do this.
