add codec MPEG2 (MainConcept) ?

PostWed Jan 06, 2021 1:07 pm

Hello,

I very much regret that I cannot process my AVI files in Resolve Studio without converting them.

My AVI files are captured via Edius from my Sony HDR FX1 camera. However, I want to edit with Resolve Studio and not Edius.

Can I add MainConcept MPEG2 codec to Resolve Studio?

This paid codec does not seem to me to destroy the video excessively.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Frédéric

the Sony HDR FX1 is a HDV/DV camera > use the original tapes

MPEG2 is very old codec and will not used any more
(edius could have captured HDV natively)

so you should find a programm to tranfer your MEG2 to a modern codec before use in resolve
cMP 5.1 2x3,46/96GB/2x2TB SSD/4x4TB/7101A 4x2TB 970evo+/HP1344/BMD4k/RadeonVII
macOS 12.6.3
BMPCC 6k pro (7.9.1)
meike s35 cine 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm
resolve studio 18.1.4
mini panel
speed editor
desktop video 12.1
intensity pro 4k
atem extreme (8.6.1)
