View Full Version : Future : Flash Xdr / Nanoflash & Cineform
Herman Van Deventer June 12th, 2008, 12:04 PM David ,
Will HD Link be able to ingest / convert the Long Gop and I-Frame encoded MPEG files
delivered by Flash XDR ?
Given their stated bitrates 50/100/160 via HDSDI as an affordable portable medium, the
better bitrate MPEGS combined with the Cineform factor seems like an "Affordable"
Higher bitrate MPEG medium.
David Taylor June 12th, 2008, 12:56 PM Herman, I suspect the files should work. We haven't specifically looked at Flash XDR files, but if anybody has files and wants to shoot them our way we'll take a look. We often use www dot yousendit dot com to send files up to 100MB for free. The files can be sent to support at cineform dot com.
Herman Van Deventer June 12th, 2008, 02:57 PM Thanks David,
Will try to spot first flash xdr owners in order to obtain a sample clip.
Ray Bell June 20th, 2008, 09:08 PM David, Here are some files from the XDR

I tried to convert with pull down but ended up with a green screen
Ray Bell June 30th, 2008, 01:57 PM bumping to the top... any idea on supporting the XDR footage ??
David Newman June 30th, 2008, 03:51 PM MOV MPEG will not work. Is there an option not to record a stand MPEG file, i.e to an MOV format. Something like MPG or M2T should work.
Ray Bell June 30th, 2008, 07:49 PM Not sure, could you ask Mike Schell (convergent designs)
here is a thread that you can get his email from...

David Taylor July 1st, 2008, 08:35 AM We've launched the request to Mike for some files....
Herman Van Deventer July 13th, 2008, 12:04 PM Any news on testing a flash XDR file via Cineform ?
David Taylor July 13th, 2008, 01:34 PM Mike didn't reply. I've resent the request to him for some files to test.
George Kroonder July 13th, 2008, 04:28 PM I believe they're still finishing the software/firmware. I'd say there's little use testing with pre-release files to "certify" a workflow.
Give 'm some time to get to release; should be a week or two from what I gather.
I'm sure files will be made available then.

Herman Van Deventer July 16th, 2008, 09:48 AM DV Info member David Schmerin has managed to get his hands on a 50 Mbs 4-2-2 MXF CLIP.

Hopefully the Cineform Team could help with a prelim. Cineform Test in this regard ?
George Kroonder July 16th, 2008, 11:26 AM Didn't want to beat a dead horse in that thread, but it is actually a PDW-700 .mxf there.
Although the XDR uses the same codec it is used it at different encode settings and CD creates their own MXF files, which I'm sure are made to be as compatible as possible.
However, we won't know until they are ready. Makes no sense to me to try and "will" things into existence. Give it some time.
