  Capture HDV to DNxHD?

  Posted by Matthias Halibrand on October 16, 2009 at 7:40 am

  Hey there,

  just a quick question to the more experienced Avid-guys.
  Coming from FCP I would never edit HDV native and always convert it to ProRes while capturing.
  So, my gut tells me I should do it equally on the Avid, so capture directly to DNxHD, since it should be reasonably faster and HDD-space is not an issue.

  Can anyone confirm that?

  Thanks very much,

  What version of Avid are using and what hardware do you have?

  Hey Andrew,

  It’s an Avid Media Composer installed on a G5-system equipped with a Composite-Mojo.
  I will prepare the system on Monday, so I can choose the version of OS and I think we have a dongle for MC 3, not sure if it’s a 4-version already.

  Thanks for your feedback,

  MatzeHali
