Need to supply All "I"Frame GOP Structure - which codec shoudl I use?

Hi All

I HAVE searched the forums for help here but no luck

I am supplying a .mov to be played out on a DL2 system. I'm completely happy making my edit (manipulating jpegs to music), but want to check what sequence settings/codec I should use.

2 specifications I've been supplied with are..

-Closed GOP Structure should be All "I" Frames
-Color Space 4:2:0

I plan to use compressor to make the final .mov

Can anyone please recommend a codec that will match the above requirements?

Thanks

Hugh

Thanks Tom - I'm trying to run a test outputting with Compressor - under GOP settings I don't seem to be able to choose an "all I frame" setting. Only IP, IBP or IBBP. Am I right in thinking the pattern of an all-I-Frame GOP would be IIIIIIIII etc?

Either

... in FCP you would choose IMX 625/50 at 50Mb/s for PAL (or the equivalent IMX 525/60 preset for NTSC)

... in Compressor you can create a new QuickTime Movie preset (or edit an existing one) and choose IMX 625/50 (50 Mb/s) (or the NTSC variant) from the Compression Type popup in the Standard Video Compression Settings window
