Review: Apple's new iFrame home video standard

article published on 15 October, 2009

With the simultaneous release on Tuesday of Apple's iMovie 8.0.5 update and two new Sanyo HD camcorders came the introduction of a new video standard called iFrame. According to both companies iFrame is a revolutionary new format designed for computer editing. But the specs for iFrame don't appear to be a new format so much as a new standard for existing formats. It uses 30fps H.264 (MPEG-4 ... [ read the full article ]

How is it a new standard when they are the only ones doing it?

I don't see how this is a good idea at all. It's not even close to what is usually considered an HD resolution, 720p. I'm glad it's only in two cameras because it shouldn't become a standard with those specs.

Also, they picked what is possibly the worst name. Apple has a bad habit of naming things i(insertsomethinghere) and iFrame just takes the cake. When I think of iFrame I think of the evil Web 1.0 Frames that where all the rage at one point in time.

I think this would appeal to a lot of people and give them better quality than their 480. When I went to 720 ACVHD Lite with my Lumix DCM ZS3, I got stuck in a hardware and software bind. I had to buy a better computer and get program that would edit 720p ACVHD Lite (Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9). Really my computers won't even play 720 smoothly, but they do well when played through YouTube and Vimeo.

I now have a much better video editing arrangement, but occasionally still edit film shot at 480 and play on my 42" TV, with upconverting DVD player. The videos look fine for what they are, and I don't wince thinking "I wish I had shot in 720."

This will probably give more people the chance to actually edit their footage into something they'll actually watch, instead of just filing it all away on a harddrive.

Anyone who does video knows there is a problem. This doesn't sound like a solution though.
