I've encountered a strange issue that Folder Monitor ignores filenames of more than 31 characters. It is monitoring a UNC path of 56 characters. Files can be manually submitted and will work but are not automatically picked up. Is there a way to see why Folder Monitor is ignoring these files? Thanks...

The wrapper ffmpeg produces is not necessarily the problem. The majority of clips work and ingest without issues. It's just the odd couple that don't. It would be nice to work out what these differences are.

Using the custom command in the mean time, is it possible to overwrite the existing file so that the deliveries processor puts the correct file in its final place? The ffmpeg encoder is much more compliant than past versions, previously every file needed to be post processed with bmxtranswrap. Now i...

we were using version 0.8.0 without issues. I'm pretty sure all clips were ran through bmxtranswrap after coming out of the ffmpeg encoder. I know that when I wrote my own ffmpeg shell script to perform encoding, I had to use bmxtranswrap on the resulting files from ffmpeg. After a workflow change, ...

I have a work flow that can accept a file in any size/FPS and interlacing and performs multiple tests to determine the best way to treat that file so that it conforms to XDCAM 1440x1080 4:3par 25fps TFF. I perform checks to see if the size is correct, I've written a custom AVI synth filter which tak...

I think the problem might've been in the way that I've been converting from 50p to 50i (or 25i, silly field vs frame notation) and that resulting clips with odd number of frames was causing this issue. I'm not sure what was happening inside the XDCAM encoder that we didn't see this incorrect convers...

Woo Hoo! version 0.9.2 has a web monitor!

How easy would it be to write my own custom input monitor. Are these just executables which live in the processors directory or built into the FFAStrans binary? Our DAM uses FTP however to get a listing via ftp takes about 10 minutes, so there is a postgress db available to list the files. I'd like ...

Try writing the video format out to a text file to check that the decoderis correctly recognising the source material is interlaced. I've got some workflows that force some settings if the clips are incorrectly identified. My workflow is to produce 25i TFF(or 50i depending on if you write frame rate...

Version 0.9.2 XDCAM HQ (35mbit) output occasionally creates incompatible files. Which need to be run through bmxtranswrap to successfully ingest into our DAM. We haven't been able to work out the difference between the files that fail and the files that are successful. Is it possible to force re-wra...
