Thanks Jeff, I have been eyeing that little puppy off for a while. It will be on my shopping cart going forward.

Fair dinkium mates 🙂 thanks for all the links and suggestions. Yes it is ironic I may consider introducing Mac or transition to Mac in our business? I’ve been such a PC evangelist and an Adobe man 🙂 for so long and resisted peer pressure from the industry to change over the years. That said I don’t think I’ll become a full blown switcher just yet, just introduce a very basic setup as suggested here so I can get off the 422 codec to keep some clients happy that insist on it. Oh and this codec DNxHD is beautiful, it’s a shame Getty aren’t more flexible, but I will say broadcast seems to be getting more fussy about their codecs. While we get away with DNxHD the 422 keeps popping up as a request but it’s the first time I’ve encountered an insistence, a must have or it’s noting. I just hope this is not a growing trend in the marketplace?

Thanks Todd! it’s interesting, surely I’m not the only pro that prefers using PC window based operating systems that encounters this issue? or am I truly an island, unique, lol 🙂 I’m guessing the solutions are folks in my position are using the two operating systems in their workflows or editing suites to service the ProRes422 client base.

It would be interesting to hear from others in my position that have came across this issue and what they did to work around?

Kind regards
Allan

Thanks Petros,

I appreciate the feedback seems like the most logical solution in the interim. We are due for computer equipment upgrade in the middle of next year, so we are seriously considering swapping out to Mac hardware or at least introducing one Mac pro system.

Cheers
