HDV M2T Transport Streams
I've been hunting for m2t transport streams from the Z1P to download, so I can do a test workflow for a project I have coming up which we're shooting on the Z1P.
As its 'only' an interview, I don't really intend to convert all the footage to uncompressed 8bit HD (1920x1080) at a whopping 103.68 megs per sec. But I don't want to work with the Apple Intermediate codec either. So, its a choice between photo-jpeg and ProHD. Which is why i want the transport streams - so I can do a side by side analysis. Now, I tend to rate photo-jpeg pretty highly as a codec - and I much prefer it ProHD. I'm just a little concerned that the YUV to RGB conversions might be ugly and that the data rate might be too much for our needs... hence ProHD.
Anyway, I finally found a hole bunch of HDV samples over at Sony HDV Info.
Oh yeah, a guy called Nate shot a music video on the Z1P and graded it on a Da Vinci (they bumped to digibeta and posted as per digibeta). For the most part, it looks better than I thought it has any right to. Certainly makes me wonder about our approach to Light's Out, which looks to be shot MOSTLY on 16mm with the band stuff shot on DV. We have money, but its a pretty tight budget nonetheless.
Thanks for the guys!
