HDV to tape
Just want to be sure I am correct about this,
am about to edit some sequences in Avid from HDV. They will need to be outputted to tape following. Please tell me if I’m correct or at least close:
Ingest HDV via firewire
Edit and conform sequence
when outputting, I export sequence as a mpeg transport streams (m2t) to somewhere (desktop) and then send to HDV device which records the m2t to tape?This last part is a tad confusing. Can someone correct or explain better? Thanks!

Rick:
From the Xpress Pro ReadMe:
“To send your edited HDV sequence back to an HDV device, you need to use a transport stream. You can use an existing transport stream or create a new one. To create a digital cut to go out to other devices, you need to first transcode the sequence.
Exporting to an HDV Device
The Export to HDV Device dialog box lets you create a transport stream file. You cannot use the standard Digital Cut tool to output HDV. You must use a separate IEEE 1394 card to output the transport stream file back to the HDV device. You can export an entire sequence or the marked section between IN and OUT points.
To export the HDV material to an HDV device:
1. Select the sequence or marked section.
2. Select Clip > Export to HDV Device
The Export to HDV Device dialog box opens.
3. Select options as described in “Export to HDV Device Settings” on page 10,and click OK.
The transport stream file is created (or saved, if you used an existing transport stream).”Regards,

is there a simple reason why at the end of the encoding it stops and I get an, “sequence title.m2t file not found”. seems like If got everything set up correctly, but still no dice.
