Hi! I am shooting a project on the Canon C100 mark ii and it that needs to be shot in 25fps but I see that true 25fps is only available in the MP4 format, not in AVCHD. In MP4 it is not called "25P" but rather "PF25", which is "25P progressive, recorded as 50i" according to the manual.
However, in MP4 the sound quality is "only" AAC, whereas in AVCHD you will get Linear PCM quality (which is supposedly much better).
This raises two questions:
- Is it easy to convert Canon's "25PF" to "true 25P" in post?
- Is the AAC sound quality workable? Or does it mess up as soon as somebody wants to filter it a bit in post?
I already did a sound test but could not hear any audible difference. Did not do any post on it though.
