[aklug] Re: GoPro/Cineform with Linux

Thanks Mike!

I don't think there is an open source Linux implimentation for the
Cineform codec ('CFHD' FOURCC code). Kdenlive is built on FFMPEG, as are
many, if not most, Linux video tools. I am not aware of any FFMPEG
libraries that can deal with CFHD. In the case of the Kdenlive link you
posted, I think the author is saving the file in another codec, perhaps
RAW format rather than using the Cineform codec; this I believe is
possible using the "Protune" feature on some GoPro cameras. I don't own
a GoPro camera btw. The file I'm working with, from a motion picture
film scanner, contains frames that are about 3.8K and is compressed
using the Cineform codec.
