While we're on this topic, I've just been asked for mp4 files for projection from a computer. Would any Frameworkers care to share settings they've used successfully? I'm working from 1080 masters, and I'm on a Mac, where I understand that all the mp4 presets sacrifice quality to compression.

I'm also interested to see what people have to say on this. I have the impression that HDCam hardly exists at all in Europe, whereas in the US many places are equipped for HDCam but not DCP. So these decisions also have to do with where you want to screen work more often. Having said which,
