Apple Prores Decoder For Windows Movie From QT
Apple Prores Decoder For Windows Full Apple ProRes

The RAW version builds upon the codecs compression technology by still providing access to raw image data from the camera sensor, giving editors more flexibility and choice while retaining image quality.

In the release text, Apple says that the release works with Adobe After Effects, Media Encoder, Premiere, and Premiere Rush, Adobe tools used for editing and encoding video.

But youll want to secure your place in line early as units are already on backorder.

Thank you thank you Could you give some tips in your original post as to what values do what in the qscale and cqp Better encoding smaller files Thanks again, first time user and Im just so happy to find something that works.

If you dont specify it, the matrix will be picked from default profile (or use auto to be really sure).

Theres also default matrix which should give the highest quality (its default in the sense that when quantisation matrix is not provided in frame decoder defaults to this one).

Default value of eight should be good for almost all situations though.

If the frame contains lots of small details its harder to compress it and encoder spends more time in search for appropriate quantisers for each slice.

For someone not familiar with the libav codebase, what source files would need to be touched to enable this.

An error is given upon import, but the video is functional in Final Cut.

I have come to understand that the encoding is also limited to a single thread.

They dont play back smoothly on Quicktime Player for Windows, often freezing (in the case of the prores encoder it can cause QT Player to freeze completely) and have trouble playing back in other apps as well.

If I re-save the movie from QT Player Pro self-contained (so, no recompression) the resulting movie DOES seem to play through smoothly in Quicktime Player but still not in other apps.

Doing video only seems to work flawlessly So you can pretty much ignore my previous comment.

I just downloaded this as its part of the newest ffmpeg download.

I need the ability to create ProRes 444 Quicktimes (dont nessesary need an alpha.

I work with footage that was shot on Red so I want to keep the bit depth as high as possible.

If I can get this working on Windows reliably it will be massive help.

I have a problem playing back prores files made with ffmpeg through some capturemaster-to-tape soft, like Media Express 3.2 for Blackmagic cards.

The only two differences between prores files made with QuickTime and files made with ffmpeg as far as I can see are the encoder (or writing library) entries in mov headers (all files made with ffmpeg have a header of Lavf(version)) and QT Formatcodec atoms, which in ffmpeg files are limited to encoder name (prores,proreskostya) rather than full Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) entires as created by QT.

I was hoping -vendor apl0 would be the answer, but unfortunately, specifying -vendor apl0 doesnt seem to make any difference in neither latest git, nor ffmpeg 1.0 encoder in ffprobe and writing library in mediainfo is still indicated as Lavf(version).

I think I saw somewhere that this was being worked on some time ago, but I cant find a way to force correct interlaced header in mov in current git or stable releases, adding -flags ildctilme doesnt seem to be doing anything, picture is interlaced, but mov header still says file is Progressive.

I m on a linux machine and usually use winff as a gui for ffmpeg, but here it doesnt really work, I get the answer.

If the problem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented.

The PNGs definitely have an alpha mask and everything generates fine if we use FCP etc.
