DVCPRO 100 Quicktime Encodes

[jacques1400]

This looks amazing! I do have a couple of questions though... The ProRes version says the frame rate is 24.39 which is kind of odd. The audio also sounds pretty heavily compressed. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The master is actually a DVCPRO 100 Quicktime, which now appears to be the standard for distribution as opposed to a "ProRes" for say, I simply use the ProRes terminology in reference because it's better known.
Some of the major studios have both, and also include various other "Flavours", but since the conversion process is time consuming and different for every type, I simply stick to the DVCPRO.

Specs for DVCPRO 100 Quicktime are: 4:2:2: 1440X1080, 100Mps, Audio is PCM 24 Bit 48K with 8 Discrete Tracks.

As far as the FPS rate, I'm using 24 Fps because I had some issues with using the standard 23.97, or in other words "default".
I don't recall what they were, but it always worked fine at 24Fps, I can always try it again

Before anyone asks, the answer is no, the files are hefty enough as it is, I'm not posting 2K encodes even if some might be available.

Most are delivered in 24fps, arent they? for theater presentation, as it was filmed in 24fps.
Using 23.976, you would not only need to convert the video at a faster rate, but the audio need be converted too to match the new rate for the video so synch isn't off.


I hand't really noticed the fps before being 24.39fps, but it didn't produce a problem for playback.
There was no off-synch anywhere.
Unusual to see though. Usually it's 24 even (24000/1000).

As far as audio "compression" goes (like brickwalled compression/dynamics), I think that's just how the trailer was meant to be heard.
A lot of old trailers had heavily compressed audio when it came to dialogue and sound effects.
I remember a lot of trailers from the 90's having it so severe that right before anyone talks, you can hear a lot of dead air (white noise-ish) before the dialogue and then the drastic cut-off to get back to the music.

There's a likely chance that the person mixing the trailer just brickwalled it for the sake of hearing everything.

The sfx, I don't mind being compressed, and I didn't find the dialogue too compressed.
I think for this particular trailer, it had effect.

A surround sound mix of the trailer should have more dynamics.

Either way, it didn't stop me from getting an adrenaline rush just watching the trailer.
