DVD from P2 Footage Just Shot
Hi,
I wanted to find out if their is a quick way to make DVD’s of all the footage I just shot without having to capture everything then transfer it to DVD? Also without Proxy Board. I am using the HVX200 in this case, we also use the HPX2000 with the Proxy board, which is a great solution for quick DVD’s.
Oh, and a bit more information. We are working off 16 GB cards and can’t really burn them to Blu-Ray discs, so what is the most efficient option at this point?

No direct MXF to DVD device I know of.
Hot ticket in digital backup is likely to become a tape drive. Look at the latest of these. LTO drives seem to be the best bet.

Exabyte has a FW800 external tape backup device that some folks have pointed to. It’s about $1200–cheap. Trouble is, it’s pretty slow. I believe the transfer rate is 6MB per second. That sounds like about 44 minutes per 16GB card. Ugh. The cartridges are not entirely cheap either.
Jan Crittendon Livingston from Panasonic, has mentioned using a RAID-1 removable drive setup. The idea being you backup to two hard drives at once and then swap out the drives and store them when they’re full. One hard drive sitting on the shelf seems awfully risky–two is safer. Wiebetech has a really cool trayless removable drive system that would be a dream for this kind of thing. What do you think of this?
