Ok, here is a rather technical question I have been trying to hash out in my head.
I was asked if it would be possible to import a D-Cinema File (2k res) into Final Cut Pro, then send to compressor and encode out for a target file to be burnt to Blu-Ray.
Information is really scarce on this topic. Plenty of resources to read about encoding something INTO D-Cinema, but not the opposite direction
So my multi part question is as follows
1) - Is it possible to take a master d-cinema file and import it into FCP as a readable file? And if so, does it require any rendering before viewing?
2) - Can Compressor accurately handle the conversion of a d-cinema file to a Blu-Ray supported video format?
and 3) If 1 and 2 are possible, any estimates on how long render wise it would take to convert a 32 minute 2k D-Cinema file to Blu-Ray standard on a quad core mac?
I just need to know if its possible within the scope of the FCS 3 package of apps, or if any other software / hardware is required, and if so, how long it would take to blast through that 32 minute video.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am working on "theoretically it should work" right now, but before I try anything, I need more tech info
Thanks in advance!
