Comments on: Adobe leads high-quality raw video format initiative

Effort called CinemaDNG tries to set standard for digital video file formats. Also at NAB 2008, Adobe adds speech transcription to video metadata.

Or: Adobe plays catch up to Apple, Sony

How nice that Adobe gets the 'innovation' headlines when others
have blazed the trail before them.

Just another b.s. company on the flight path.

Please explain further.

Are you bullshitting?

Sony is advancing in the camera side.
Apple is advancing in its own way.

Hopefully not "Apple" byte-order only
by mistakemaker April 14, 2008 7:14 AM PDT: Hopefully, unlike DNG, this new format will at least be like TIFF and not limit itself to storing data only in the "Apple" byte-order (i.e. big-endian). The irony of only allowing the "Apple" byte-order is that since Apple converted to Intel processors, the "Apple" byte-order is no longer intrinsic even to Apple computers!

It is such a shame that DNG (and also ICC/ICM color profiles) are restricted to "Apple" byte-order only. Perhaps, given Apple's conversion to Intel processors, might it might even make sense for this new format restrict itself to be little-endian only?; Like this Reply to this comment
