Subject: [PATCH] fix(growing): use stable H.264 High All-Intra for 1080p59.94
 MXF

XDCAM HD422 does not strictly support 1080p59.94, and ffmpeg/raw2bmx failed to negotiate the stream. Reverted to h264_nvenc (High profile, all-intra GOP 1, yuv420p) which raw2bmx can reliably wrap as OP1a (--avc_high) at 60000/1001. This restores NVENC hardware acceleration and Premiere edit-while-record compatibility.
