Issues delivering to client a QT vs MXF files?

[Gregg]

If I use HD Monitor Pro it records to QuickTime. So if I deliver this to a client and they are editing off of MXF files does this mean they would have to convert back to MXF files thereby suffering some quality loss in the process?

I don't believe there is any quality loss whether delivered by qt or mxf.

I don't believe there is any quality loss whether delivered by qt or mxf.

But if they want the the files in MXF would there be a quality loss to convert it to that?

 

[David Saraceno]

HD Monitor is not going to record to MXF.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your question. Are you trying to convert the QT to MXF?

They are just different container formats, if the software you use allows you to output to MXF and is reasonably intelligent, it won't re-encode anything and just put the same DVCProHD frames into the new container format.
