c100 mark2 footage please? at DVinfo.net

Jeff Cook · August 29th, 2015, 02:01 PM

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone who has a Canon C100 mark 2 would be willing to shoot some test footage at different fps so I could test them with my editor. I am looking to buy one but would like to test the footage out. You could send it via google drive. Please let me know. Thanks in advance. I am interested in both mp4 and avchd video. 59.94 both I and P and 29.97

AVCHD and MP4 footage are exactly the same visually. MP4 is AC3 audio (compressed to 192kps or something like that) while AVCHD is LPCM uncompressed. AVCHD is in a directory structure while MP4 are self-contained files. MP4 is always split up in 4GB chunks during long recordings, while AVCHD can be connected without any transcoding through various utilities.

There is also no difference between I and P 29.97. MP4 will give you straight up 30P, while AVCHD gives you 60i with 2:2 pulldown. There is literally zero difference except in some NLEs you may need to tell it that it's progressive and not interlaced.

I believe the 6d records in 4gb chunks but I thought it was a avid codec. Does the 6d record mp4?

The 6D does not record into the MP4 wrapper, no.
