Hi, I've just joined a post production house and my boss was asking me to do some research on the best format/codec to capture our videos in. We normally receive movies and videos in DigiBeta and encode them to multiple system such as for trains, aircraft and tablet. As such, we always want to keep the master source file with the highest quality, do some editing and transcode them into system specific formats.
With this, can I ask what is the best format to capture in using DRC Stream 3.7? I heard it's H.264 but also heard that it's difficult to do editing with it (including subtitle, cutting out certain scene, etc.).
Also read somewhere that I can actually ingest the video in mpeg2 format with a high bit rate. That way, when I convert them to MPEG4 for some of the system out there, I won't lose quality. Is this true? Please help! Thanks.
