What encoding software are folks using for broadcast delivery?Posted by John K
Hey all,
Delivering our second broadcast spot and the delivery specs continue to astound me. Not only is every satellite/cable outlet asking for distinctly different files, but their posted specs don't often match up with what's available in Compressor/Adobe Media Encoder. (For example: most outlets want a "Closed GOP" as if it's a box you can check off in the settings, but no dice.) Just curious what the rest of you are using to compress files for broadcast; is there software that gives you full control over all the media settings (GOP, GOP Sequence, bitrate. etc.)? TIA, JVK _______________________________________ SCQT! Self-contained QuickTime ? pass it on!
Telestream Episode is recommended for outlets that want things encodes exactly as they broadcast them. I rarely get asked for that, I'm either asked for a tape (HDCAM, HDCAM SR) or a ProRes or DNxHD Qt that they then encode to their needs on their end.
But I know a lot of people who deliver broadcast MPEG for clients, and they use Episode. www.shanerosseditor.com Listen to THE EDIT BAY Podcast on iTunes [itunes.apple.com]

Yea. In some cases Compressor has very limited settings for Mpeg/Mpeg2 formats. www.strypesinpost.com
Shane,
Which version of episode are you using and did you get any of the extra options like x264 or the pro audio? I also wonder does it play well with smoke, fcp or premier. like exporting via episode?
