A few MHD FAQ
Format Conversions: MHD's policy is to NEVER up-convert any footage, we will down-convert (ie: 1080/60i to SD), and we will on occansion cross-convert (ie:1080/50i to 1080/60i).
The MHD 3D animtion and Motion Graphic collections are offered at 1080/30p (29.97) We have a few 3D animation and motion graphic collections that are offered in 1080/60p (59.97).
The clips on DVD's, CD's and the downloadable single clips are Quicktime files. As of the fall of 2005, the HD versions are now using the DVCProHD codec. Uncompressed Quicktime (codec=none) are also available for delivery on DVD media or USB/Firewire hard drives.
The MHD SingleClip and downloadable clips are currently scheduled to be available in the winter of 2007/8, at this time the FTP service is by special order only.
All HD footage will soon have the option to be delivered in the originating format on HDCam, HDCam/SR and DVCPRO HD media.
