RELEASE : MovieRecorder 2.0.1 - NOW with support for XDCAM EX
02/07/10 05:25 Filed in: New Versions
MovieRecorder have been updated today. This version brings general stability and performance improvements.
MovieRecorder 2.0.1 fixes some important issues such as some movie files not being closed properly, but it also brings a few new features such as Offset TC for Batch Captures, or the support for XDCAM EX.
The XDCAM EX codec is very nice as it has a very low Data Rate. Be aware though that due to the Edit-while-Ingest capability, the data rate of the file will not be 35Mb/sec as it usually is, but rather around 50Mb/sec. Also, this is a very CPU intensive codec, and thus we do not recommend doing DUAL ingest with any current MacPro, and Single ingest can only be done in a recent MacPro with sufficient Memory. but of course you are free to test it with the DEMO version. If you experience any Drop frame issue, you can try lowering the preview quality and frame rate.
What’s new in MovieRecorder 2.0.1 ?
• implemented preview quality/frame rate in the preferences
• solved an issue with batch capture (wrong file ending)
• solved an issue with files never being closed even after a stop
• fixed memory leak in the preview image generation
• fixed MacOS 10.4.11 compatibility problems
• fixed a problem when finishing movies (audio was incorrect or too short)
• fixed issues when terminating a movie (incorrect samples were written to disk)
• added a QuickTime atom
• fixed problems with JPEG thumbnail
• added support for XDCAM EX codecs
• fixed a bug in Batch Capture when entering timecodes and durations
• added VTR in/out point offsets in the batch capture settings
• added support for pre-allocation on Omneon servers
• fixed a rounding issue with the timecode track
• fixed duration problem when using scheduled, timer and VTR modes
• fixed a problem when recording 16 tracks
• decreased bitrate of proxy MP4 files
• fixed a rounding issue in 29.97fps
