| 364278 | 2005-06-20 11:05:00 | whenever I tried to record it seemed to use stupid amounts of memory and I couldn't find where to adjust any encoding settings. I might have to try a better quality card. Thanks again Also PCTek, I agree. I ahve a friend who could go on about encoding (and all the related bits) for the next month without pausing for breath. The synopsis of what he rants, I mean says is that software encoding sucks and specific hardware encoders are the best. Of course they cost a small fortune too. |

| 364279 | 2005-06-20 11:44:00 | Thats a hard case, all the rersearch I have done over the years points to software encoding giving a better result, due to the ability to multi-pass the file. The main drive to hardware encoders has been to give real time editing and rendering, with the advance in computer power many bypass the hardware renders and use the software route, On a purpose built rig its faster and higher quality. The canopus forums are good for finding such info, especially the forums covering their purpose built real time editing cards with optionial hardware encoder. Most of the big cheeses on the forums are professionals who use the hardware and software to make their living........ |
