Moira: There’s HDCAM and there’s HDCAM SR. HDCAM is a terrible format, to be avoided at all costs. HDCAM SR is ok if you want HD and need tape, but it is fading quickly in favor of files. While many are suggesting ProRes (and that should be ProResHQ 442 (I don’t think you need 444 in this

If you're stuck with Blu-Ray, definitely use professional optical media. Taiyo Yuden is the gold standard. They make DVDs under their own brand as well as others. For Blu-Ray, I think Taiyo Yuedn have an exclusive with JVC. I go to supermediastore.com, they have the widest selection of media

And as recently noted here, ProRes isn't available on PCs. Given what production houses charge for transfers, it might behoove PC based folks to invest in a used older Mac Pro (~$500) if only to make ProRes files. I've been making ProRes files from a Win platform for ages now, no issues at all,

Fascinating, that's great news. Thanks for the info. Cinec Pro is 150 Euro for the noncommercial version, which is about US$200. Cheaper to go the open source route and deal with the inconvenience. But if you can deduct the expense from taxes, Cinec Pro might be worthwhile. /

Hi Ken, Your machine will most likely come with Mavericks installed. For FCP7 I’d recommend a clean install with Mountain Lion. Here’s a little how-to : http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install-drive/ Best, Gideon On 13 dec. 2013, at 20:27, Ken Paul
