You and me flac mp4#

Then ok, mp4 with H264 is the standard for industry, no need to encode in 10 formats now, at least for the web, VOD and BDs.ДЄnd this is the same : for personal use, no problem but for work, if something's ok, no need to add anything with no benefit at the end (a bit room on HDs).Д®ven if FLAC is lossless and then provides quality for consumers, to me, asking for it in post almost sounds like asking for vorbis too : irrelevant and useless*Д¬onsequently, I'd really like BMDs keeps on focusing efforts on really useful tools as they've been doing up to now.

mp4 etc with vp8, h264, mpeg4 sp, theora, vp9. It somehow sounds like around the beginnings of the video on the web : you had dl files, streamed files, embedded files and stuff like. Morevover, even with amateur tools, FLAC can be transcoded so quickly that it's not a pain to batch some and waste a minute to be finished with them for the whole project. Standards WAV or AIFF are enough and I have no need to add some in this very field. Now, in post, I'm dealing with more serious projects, I cannot afford to reach a point where I might say 'hell, why did I keep this format ?'. Therefore for me in a iPod, my car or in a music library at home, yes of course, FLAC is ok (though in case of a lossless format, I prefer the WAV file which is twice only as big as FLAC).

Please note then that my point of view has nothing to do with a particular preference or any personal worship : I just really distinguish what are my private personal life habits from the pro world of post I've been daily experiencing too for years and years. Whaooo, this thread's still alive ? I'm surprised, really.
