XDCAM HD422 MXF - tafett - 02.05.2020

Hello, everyone,

I just discovered this software and I already love it. 

However, I'm looking for features that I can't find.

I would like to be able to encode files with the XDCAM HD422 codec (MPEG-2 422P@HL) in the MFX container.

Also I would like to be able to conform the file to different standards such as RDD9 or AS-10.

Are these functions available?

Thank you
David

No.
Hybrid doesn't support
  • any MPEG-2 encoder; could be done through ffmpeg, but I don't know how competitive/good ffmpegs MPEG-2 encoder is)
  • mxf as output container (no clue what formats are supported inside mxf and how the overhead of the container would need to be calculated to allow 2pass encoding with a target file size); muxing to mxf could be done with ffmpeg/ffmbc
atm.
I also have no clue atm. about the different standard used in mfx. Only thing a quick google search showed me was a list of the general formats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDCAM#XDCAM_formats but no real info whether ffmpeg or ffmbc could be used to create RDD9 or AS-10 compliant mxf containers.

Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

I think I'm gonna have to make my own tool to do that Big Grin .

For your information to create RDD9 (or other) compliant mxf files I currently use the wrapper bmx (https://sourceforge.net/p/bmxlib/home/Home/).
