Blackmagic Decklink "R210" codec??

Recommended Posts

So I'm using the Blackmagic Decklink to rip some BetacamSP tapes. In the software itself everything records and plays back fine. The issue is when I have another media player or editing software try reading it what I believe is an uncompressed 10-bit video file.

I've tried multiple recording format options, and sometimes the video codec doesn't fly, and other times the audio codec doesn't fly. VLC tells me the "r210" codec cannot be read. I tried Googling but no one is giving me a clear download of what codec pack to get. Also Blackmagic tech support has been apathetic trash towards my situation.

Does anyone have any leads? Thanks.

R210 is uncompressed 10-bit RGB. There wasn't really a standardised way of doing that, so I think Blackmagic developed it.

What do you want to convert it to? I'm not entirely sure but I think the open source tools - ffmpeg, and things based thereon - will handle it.
