Need uncompressed AVI recipe

I am using FCP5, Compressor and Flip4Mac Studio HD.
I take a 15 minute 8bit YUV QT into Compressor, Quicktime Conversion or directly to QT Pro and set output for AVI, compression - none.
The AVI file is 3 times as big as the uncompressed 4:2:2 QT.
And the first scene of the AVI video covers the entire QT timeline. I can't play more than a minute of the program in Flip4Mac enhanced QT player.
When I take the AVI to Winoz, WMP says the file is corrupt, won't show or play.
Lots of posts talk about exporting uncompressed AVI files. How?
G5 Dual 2.0, 5.5GB RAM, 2TB RAID Mac OS X (10.4.5) FCP5 Suite, Kona, Boris, blah, blah ...

Did you choose "Maximum Bit Depth" in the Export Settings dialog? This option supports up to 32 bpc, if the selected compression supports it.

Help needed! White lines over uncompressed avi export - CS4 v4.2

Hello,
I am having problems exporting an uncompressed avi at max bit depth in Premiere Pro CS4. Whenever I export it, I get what is below. Please look at the image to get an idea of what it looks like. The quality is there, just the white lines are annoying.
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc291/madindehead/PremierePro_export_weird.png
However, when exporting as an uncompressed avi with 8 bit bit depth, the quality is worse, but there are no white lines. I am using the UYVY codec. As you can see, the quality of the export is excellent, but it is spoiled by those lines. Does anyone know what could be causing it, and how can I fix it? I don't really want to use 8 bit depth, as the quality is nowhere near as good sadly.
Thanks.

I tried looking here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2105977#2105977
Which led me to encoding the video with VirtualDub, using a lossless codec, and then re-exporting it from Premiere. However, exactly the same thing happened. I have found, that using Uncompressed Microsoft AVI, with Render at maximum depth selected and using the UYVY codec, definitely gives the best quality. If I un-tick "Render at maximum depth" the problem DOES NOT occur, however, the quality is nowhere near as good. So I think this is where the problem lies. You can see under that white layer, that the quality is there. But still no joy sadly.
I am using StaxRip to encode the files as MP4 using the x264 codec, and this gives excellent quality, for the file size. As I am using this, I obviously want the highest quality output from Premiere that I can possibly get.

Problems with large frame uncompressed AVI files in QT 7 player

I have just recently gone from QT Pro 6.5.2 to QT Pro 7, mainly because of the HD support.
I have a dual boot system with QT 7 on Windows 2000, and QT 6 on Windows 98SE.
I am having problems playing uncompressed AVI files in the QT 7 player, apparently if the frame size is large (in the example case 688 x 516).
Sometimes I just get "error 108 unknown error" pop up when I try to load the file. Sometimes the file loads but will not play except in short bursts of movement every now and again as it moves along the timeline. Sometimes the file plays, but with one or more broad black lines across the image!
All the problem files play perfectly in QT 6.5.2, but will not play in QT 7, which should surely play them better, not worse!
Can anyone make any suggestion as to what's happening?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled QT 7, which made no difference. I'm sure I don't need any extra codecs, as QT has always played RAW AVIs without anything extra before.
Thanks in anticipation, Dave.

How to Export UYVY 4:2:2 8-bit Uncompressed AVI?

I've been doing a lot of testing in Premiere Pro CS5 (on Windows) but cannot figure out how to export video to a generic 4:2:2 8-bit uncompressed AVI file. Here's some background - I've captured some video to an uncompressed Matrox AVI file (via an MXO2 I/O Device). Now I've done some simple cutting and need to get the video off Premiere's timeline (and into another yet-to-be-determined multimedia application). I don't want to lose any quality - hence my requirement for 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI. Also, the file needs to be a standard/generic AVI that doesn't require any special CODECs installed.
In Premiere's File > Export > Media window, there seems to be 2 ways of getting uncompressed 4:2:2 AVIs:
Option 1:
Format: Uncompressed Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: UYVY
Quality: 100
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Option 2:
Format: Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: Uncompressed UYVY 422 8bit
Quality: (Greyed out at 100)
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Audio Interleave: 0
Option 1 is great except that the audio codec detected is "0xfffe extensible wave format" (according to GSpot). I can play the video on practically any machine including something as old as Windows Media Player 9 running on Windows 2000! The audio plays back fine as well in Windows Media Player. However, audio does not play (not detected correctly) in VLC media player, or in Sony Vegas-type software. FYI, the video codec detected (by GSpot) is "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)".
Option 2, on the other hand, is quite the contrary. The video does not play in any version of Windows Media Player (regardless of operating system), but the audio plays fine though. The audio codec detected (according to GSpot) is the standard "PCM audio" format and the video codec is again "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)". In VLC media player, both the video and audio play fine. But in other editing software such as Edius, the video is not detected and only the audio is loaded onto the timeline.
What I would like is a generic 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI file which has audio that works in anything. Is there some setting/parameter that I have missed? Can I customise Option 1 with "PCM audio" rather than "0xfffe extensible wave format"? I want to avoid "Video Codec: None" if at all possible given that the file size will be significantly larger for absolutely no quality gain (I presume this is uncompressed 4:4:4?).
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi Jim, I too am confused!
Why should the video codec for Option 1 be V210? Isn't this reserved for 10-bit video?
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#V210
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS398C372B-B748-4ef6-BA0D-396D2E360707.ht ml
I would have thought that the UYVY option was the correct choice for 8-bit video.
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#UYVY
Videos exported using Option 2 definately do not play correctly in Windows Media Player - I get no video, just audio. I have tried many different computers running different versions of Windows and Windows Media Player. I'm running Premiere CS5 v5.03 if that makes any difference.
I don't understand why videos from Option 1 play fine in Windows Media Player even though the systems don't have AJA hardware installed (or any video I/O device) - they are just plain vanilla office PCs

Problem exporting uncompress AVI

Problem exporting uncompress AVI. The output file will have in-between frames that appear like this:
Help!

Thanks for response! It's not the player's problem (it's mpc btw), I import it into Premiere for post editing and it's disaster to see the failed rendering.
Mmm need time/Everest to find out the system info. Generally render setting is just straightforward AVI lossless/best quality with no codec assigned.

Saving a mov file as a 24 bit uncompressed avi

I have a MOV file that I created in LiveType. I need to convert it to a 24 bit uncompressed avi - I tried in Compressor (v3.0.5) but couldn't find a way. I tried in Quicktime Pro and saved it as an uncompressed 36bit avi, but don't know how to reduce it town to 24bit -- is it just reducing the colours to thousands or something?
Argh!

Why do you need to make it to that specification?
Tell us what you are trying to do -what is the recipient going to do with the file?
Maybe we can help you find another way to do this that will be acceptable to your client.

Premiere Pro CS3 - exporting uncompressed AVI renderes black vid - help

I'm putting together a small demo reel (just under 6 minutes) where the image quality is important above all things. I was trying to export an Uncompressed AVI movie, 1920x1080 with 16bit 48Hz audio in Pro CS3 (I don't have access to a later version), which seems to work except the video is being rendered black (the final file is 32 gigs). I tried testing this with a 5 second clip to see if the length or size of the file was causing the problem but it was the same. The reason I am doing this is that I want to do my codec and burn to DVD in another program (AVS) and need to export the video as pristine as possible, It didn't seem to make a difference if I chose "uncompressed AVI" or the "Microsoft AVI" and then made sure the video setting were set to uncompressed. I am sure that the video is alright as I was able to create a "Microsoft AVI" as long as I chose some sort of video compression but then that file is being doubly compressed.
I had heard mention that Premiere Pro (I am new to this package) should be able to export an uncompressed QT file as well but this option seems unavailable to me in the export options.
I tried using the Premiere Encoder to go straight to DVD from Premiere (this is not for Blue Ray by the way - I just wanted to master at HD so taht, in the future, when I do re-edit for Blue Ray I'll already have this material worked out for that resolution) but it generates a single Mpeg2 files that my DVD burner doesn't want to use (it seems to want things to be in the VIDEO_TS/AUDIO_TS directory structure).
Sorry for this layman stuff but any help is much appreciated.
-Michael

Thanks Jim,
I tried None but the images (video) still comes up black. I've tried
looking at the final AVI through Premiere itself and also AVS Media
Player, Editor and a few other programs. The uncompressed audio is
there but the video is rendered black (uncompressed black so the files
are still huge). All I have to do is change the codec to Cinepak or
one of the others that are available and suddenly the images are there
as expected but, unfortunately, the image degradation once this file
has been converted to High Quality DVD is not acceptable for my
purposes.
I'm not sure what other alternatives there are -- is there a way to
load additional codecs into Premiere (such as QT uncompressed) so that
I can give those a shot?
Thanks for your help on this.

What is the best video card to edit uncompressed .avi digibeta files.

I just digitised my digibeta footage into uncompressed .avi video files.
I just would like to know what will be the best way to edit using FCP.
What video card do I need? What are the best specs that i need to have on a mac pro or a mac book pro.
How is it possible?
Thx,
James

Why .avi?
Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files.
The video card in your MacBook Pro will be fine. The way to avoid rendering is to make sure that your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings match your source material.

Uncompressed AVI

Hello,
I am trying to export an uncompressed AVI from FCP 5 - client needs that format. I export via quicktime conversion; select AVI; options for compression none; I select thousands of colors (if I selet millions I cannot play anything at all). It takes the old G5 5 minutes or so to export a file that is 3 minutes long (on the timeline it is HD DVCPro 720p). When the process is done the files are larger than the raw. It seems as if FCP is doing the job. However, when I go back to check the files there is a strange pattern. If the file is under 4 GB I can view the entire file; 4GB-6GB I can view about 30-40seconds or so; over 6 and I cannot view it at all. When I import the AVI files back into FCP I get the same results. I have Flip4Mac on the computer (I am not 100 percent that it is a full version). I can view the clips that are under 4 GB (clips are usually 2-3 miutes in length, but these are done with thousands of colors not millions. When I do millions the AVI won't play and FCP won't recognize the file). The files that are being exported are all larger than the raw. So, why can't I view these files? Is FCP doing the job or is it only doing part of it?
John

I could not get FCP to export a complete uncompressed AVI. If the file was over 4 GB it wouldn't work - as mentioned above with the various sizes. Someone suggested that I use Quicktime Pro to convert to an uncompressed AVI instead of using FCP. Tried it and again - no success. So, best bet was exporting a QT movie from FCP and into MPEG StreamClip. I adjusted the settings for a desired result.
The issue about playing files is about being able to confirm that the export was complete. If I cannot view the files or import them into FCP to make sure they can be worked with than I have nothing to send off. MPEG StreamClip allowed me to convert the Quicktime files into an uncompressed AVI - and at the end I was able to view the entire file and import it into FCP without any issues.
Thanks for helping me out with this David. You were the first person to steer me in the right direction.

Is it possible to export uncompressed .avi files over 4 gigabytes?

I want to export my 70+ min movie as one uncompressed .avi - file with FCP
but it turns out only 4 gigabytes of data (35-50 seconds) are visible in the exported clip. The rest is black.
How do I get around this problem?

The drive is mac standard (not FAT32) and I have checked + confirmed that the drive can take files larger than 4 gigabytes.
The .avi file I export IS the right size (200+ gigabytes).
Even though the audio and video doesn't show up after a certain point.
I use Quicktime conversion - avi (compressor : none, quality: best) etc.
I've tried saving with and without sound (48khz 16bit uncompressed)
When I save without sound, the exported file contained a little bit more video data (a few more seconds)
which supports my 4 gig limit theory.
I just want to export the movie in it's uncompressed state
for editing on a PC (premiere cs4)

Blackmagic uncompressed avi to quicktime

Here's a nice question to post on christmas eve (I've had my fill of sentimental films and good cheer - bah humbug)
I've been given some uncompressed avi files to use in my current edit (using fcp). They were captured from Beta sp using a PC and a Blackmagic card (don't know what model type, exactly).
They don't play in quicktime (or, therefor fcp). QT asks for a codec and so I downloaded the blackmagic codec from their website. it doesn't seem to help.
The format in the QT "get info" is...
"YUVU", 720x576, thousands
As I said this should be an uncompressed file.
I understand there is some issues between the PC version of uncompressed (avi) and the mac version (.mov) when using a Blackmagic card.
Anyone have any suggestions for me to try (apart from re-capturing on a more compatible device?)
happy christmas

I have found a solution, and in the interest of spreading the knowledge...
Quicktime has the codec to play back this uncompressed AVI movie that was captured on a PC/Blackmagic card. The problem is that the AVI does not tell quicktime correctly which codec to use. Quicktime is "confused" by the 4cc data. Its either a quirk of AVI vs Quicktime or a quirk of Blackmagic + Windows. Oh I dunno - its a quirk anyway.
Blackmagic tells me its a problem that can sorted by changing the "4cc code" of the movie file. As I understand things this is part of the some meta data of the movie file that identifies codec info. Blackmagic have a simple app that can edit the 4cc so that such an AVI will work on a mac/quicktime - it will also convert backwards so that it works on a PC. AFAIK this app is not on their website - I got it from Blackmagic support via email.
So there you go.

Uncompressed AVI from SMOKE/FLAME to Final Cut

My current problem is importing (and viewing) Uncompressed AVI from Smoke/Flame/Inferno on a Final Cut Pro system. The audio plays but the video does not. I also find that when I export an Uncompressed AVI from Final Cut through Quicktime Conversion, I am unable to view the video on my own system. What is going on here and what am I missing.
This conversion must be done on the Mac, no PC alternatives please.
Thanks in advance.

This AVI is coming from a Smoke or a Flame, as uncompressed. Basically the workflow will not allow any change in format from the Smoke / Flame, as it works with everything else in the pipeline.
Any suggestions on getting it into final cut...
I notice it plays through VLC but not through Quicktime.

Generating uncompressed AVI - will Compressor 4 work?

Before I purchase Compressor 4, will it allow me to export to (after creating and sharing from Motion 5) to an uncompressed AVI? I have previously shared to and exported from FCP 7, but since I switched to Mountain Lion 10.8 the "no compression" option for AVI export is no longer listed. I am required to produce uncompressed avi for in-arena ribbon motion graphics. I have only Apple hardware and software.
Thanks.
