I’m very interested in this product.

This Blackmagic it seems that will enable us to capture on-the-fly to iPod/iPhone – so it will be possible, for example, to provide the recorded video at the end of a conference/presentation to the attenders, or just put a link on a website for download – much quicker than the common method where we have to capture and/or export after the event finished.

My only doubt is knowing if it’s possible to ‘top & tail’ a *.mp4 file without re-rendering, imagining that in an live event scenario I would need to cut bits at beginning and at the end of the captured file.

Its possible to do it in a 2-pass process, capturing first the CH1/2 and than CH3/4, but this method its a pain when I want to capture 25 tapes or more.

In the User Manual of the player says:

Menu 831 – i.LINK AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT (Selects audio channels output from the iDV connector):
OPTION 1) CH1/2: Outputs audio signals (16 bits/48K) recorded in CH-1/2.
OPTION 2) CH3/4: Outputs audio signals (16 bits/48K) recorded in CH-3/4.
OPTION 3) CH1/2/3/4: Outputs audio signals (12 bits/32K) recorded in CH-1/2/3/4.

I have selected OPTION 3).

So, being possible to select in the player menu to output all 4 channels through FireWire/iLINK, if PPro CS3 doens’t do it, whitch software is able to capture all 4 at the same time? Final Cut? Some other small software?
