Direct Capture to FCP

Hey Wes, thanks for correcting me before my half-baked knowledge of the Mac did anyone some mischief — I hope!

“Quicktime” is seeming more and more a state of mind, than something that I can pin down and know for certain what it really is.

Wes,

Yeah, I noticed. Why is that? We recently did some “live” capture QT’s and discovered that there were serious audio sync issues with the files. What’s going on? Isn’t a quicktime a quicktime regardless how it was created? Apparently not!

Your insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
