Teddy,
Thanks. So what is the workflow then for this? So, I get a mini mac (not sure what that is but will research) and then I presume you copy all your files to a USB drive from PC, plug in to mini mac and then? What are you using then for the conversion on the Mac?
I skip prores exports from PC altogether because of those issues, and either send DNxHD QTs direct or encode Prores from lossless files on my mac mini / MBP. I'd highly recommend a used recent mac mini as a standalone encoding device / server, it works great and speeds up workflow
I've been using this thing now for a year or so with sort of mixed reviews. I sometimes get perfect conversions and then other times, it will add a white frame at the end or just slap on a random 5 frames or so of black. Has anyone had this problem?
Is there an application out there that people have had better luck with?
