I've been using Lagarith as my intermediate lossless codec for years now, but a lot of people seem to be big on CineForm now. I was going to give it a shot, but it looks like there's no way to install the encoder without installing all of the associated GoPro Studio bloat. I know you can install just the decoder by itself, but does anybody know if there's a way to install just the encoder? What's been your experience with CineForm? Seems like there's multiple quality settings, and it's not actually "lossless" in the RAW or Lagarith sense, but gets very close. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I think it might be possible to extract required files and reverse engineer installer for the encoder, but that may be copyright infringement.. (would anybody care?) Honestly gopro studio installer is incredible crap.
Considering lossless:
I know there are true lossless formats... which encode yuv 420. In this case it is nonsence to talk about "sub-lossless": 420 is much more lossy in the first place than some sub-bit noise change. |

I know they "released CineForm to the public", so it seems weird to me that there's no standalone encoding codec without GoPro Studio. Maybe I'll try installing it on my laptop, and it if it's easy to uninstall and doesn't leave a bunch of junk behind, I'll try it on my video editing PC. Thanks shekh. |
