Hi everyone,
To make a long story short I'm using ffmbc to deinterlace video before importing to iMove. My preference would be to output an h.264 file (Mov or MP4) and then import it into iMovie without transcoding into AIC (I'm aware of tradeoffs associated with editing in h.264 vs Intraframe). However, no matter what I tried, iMovie '11 always forces optimization/AIC transcoding on import. I am aware that ClipWrap does something to the QT container to make it iMovie friendly: http://www.divergentmedia.com/blog/f...imovie_secrets.
Does anyone know what it is and if it can be replicated with ffmbc (or ffmpeg)? As a workaround, I'm currently outputing to ProRes from ffmbc before importing into iMovie but I'd rather avoid having to deal with massive files.

Thanks.
