4K H264 --> DNXHD 10 bit: improved quality?
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2017 10:41 am
Hi there,
I know this is kind of and old discussion, but it still confuses me. I have the following scenario:
We recorded UHD with the Phantom 4 Pro in D-Log (H.264 codec). Once we were back, I transcoded the footage to DNXHD 10bit. When I put the original and the transcoded above each other and put the blend mode
to 'difference' there seems to be less compression loss in the DNXHD*.
So is it safe to say, that when you transcode from 4K H.264 to a HD 10bit that there is a quality increase of some sort?
Thanks for clarifying.
Cheers
*though I'm not quite sure; maybe there's more compression in the DNXHD file, but that wouldn't make sense.
