What do you use to encode HDV Files on PC ?

Sony Vegas?

:2 cents::2 cents:

Aha, Sony Vegas for sure.

Sony Vegas :winkwink:

I've been using Procoder for encoding since 2005 and I wouldn't change for anything, Procoder 3 is very stable, (unlike Procoder 2).
It can do multiple output formats simultaneously, it's fairly fast and it watermarks :thumbsup
I've done batches of 75 videos at a time without a hitch, left it chugging along for days.
The downside is no FLV, I use Sorenson Squeeze for that.

Vegas can only output 1 format at a time, some content I handle needs 5 output formats, 3 wmv, 1 mpg and an mp4 or mov, it would take all day to do that in vegas.

I thought PC3 was not good at H264 ?

Pinnacle Plus 11 works great for me.

on PC, I use Adobe Media Encoder. On Mac, DVKitchen 4TW

I hadn't heard that, I really only used H264 mp4 on 2 sites but they looked fine to me,
I did read on some DV boards that P3 can only do H264 MPEG2 but I found that you can do H264 mp4 as well, maybe that's what you heard?
Damn, now I'll have to test it against squeeze and adobe media encoder.
Squeeze is very good, but you can't watermark and it's seems pretty slow, I just got Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and haven't had a chance to really get into it so I don't know what it can do.

Adobe media encoder on pc will not open a hdv file.
