How to encode IMX/D-10 using FFmbc

[Baptiste Coudurier]

Guys,

I added a wiki page with commandlines to encode IMX 50 or 30
in either MXF or MOV.

http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/wiki/IMXD10Encoding

It also explains how to add more audio channels since MXF typically only
accepts 4 or 8 channels.

I updated the wiki to reflect new rc2 feature.

It is now much more easier to encode imx:

ffmbc -i < file > -target imx30 < file.mxf | file.mov >

ffmbc -i < file > -target imx50 < file.mxf | file.mov >

This is a great new feature and does make transcoding to these formats
much, much easier. However, it'd be great if you could add the "hard
way" with complete command line back to the Wiki page. I think this is
still useful information to have exposed, even if most people just use
the presets.

Further information on how to handle Standards Conversion (PAL-->NTSC
or NTSC-->PAL) and aspect ration conversions (16:9 --> 4:3 using
centre cut out) would also be valuable information to publish.

Hi Phill, I hope you are doing well,

I'd prefer users to not mess the hard way. I'd like users to use the
presets.

I see, well any help is welcome on this. I can't say I have free time
for this, but I'll try.

I am doing very well. Today is my last day at BBCW.

I agree that users shouldn't mess the hard way and should use the
presets. However, I also think the knowledge of how to do it the hard
way is important to publish.

I might need to know all the switches used to create D10 files to
figure this out. :-)

Really great progress on FFmbc though. I'm liking v0.6.

I'm also looking at configuring a web based UI to drive common FFmbc
transcode tasks.
