ProRes 422 HD on a PC?

[Carlos Mills]

Hi Guys! Is there a good way to encode a AVI file into a ProRes 422 HD video file using a PC? Or the best way to do it would be using a Mac? Since this is something I will probably be doing more and more in the future, I am looking for an "in house" solution. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your reply cgrafx! I wonder if someone has a tested and trusted Windows converter for this...?

Carlos, I use a product called Windows ProRes - www.windowsprores.com It works great.

Unfortunately they aren’t selling it anymore.

I have had success with a ProRes CODEC from miraizon.

See here

This works with video editing programs like Adobe Premiere etc. It is not stand alone though, nor free.

I have converted ProRes files using ffmpeg
That has a bit of a learning curve but is free and doesn't require an editing program.

Unfortunately, Miraizon no longer sells the product.
