H.264 > HDV Conversion / Acquisition
I recently hired out for a video project due to being double booked and the professional I hired out to did not deliver raw footage from the cameras (I assumed he would), rather delivered the footage pre-ingested into Apple FCPX. I personally still use Apple FCP 7 and typically ingest from my Sony HVR-Z7U in HDV straight into Final Cut from the CF cards. The footage he delivered reads in FCP as 1920x1080 frame size and H.264 as the Compressor. I would like to convert this footage to HDV (my preferred editing codec) (via FCP's batch export) but it is taking FOREVER... about 24+ hours for a 1 hour clip. I have also tried doing this with Adobe Media Encoder (I am slowly but surely migrating to Adobe) but still having the same problem. Is there a better way I should be doing this? I have about 5 hours worth of footage to convert which would take about 5 days which I think is pretty outrageous. Any help or light anyone can shed here would be immensely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
