Michael, I think Vince is talking about shooting video on the Nano, not playing it.

It all comes down to how large a file do you want to make and what codec & playback do you want to use?
h.264 wrapped as .mp4 is becoming more or less universal, it can be played back by Quicktime, Windows Media Player, VLC, Flash & many other players.
Flash will work with any web browser.

[David Kenny] “The source is 1920 x 1080i”
Your source is interlaced
[David Kenny] ” and it is to go on DVD Pal”
Your destination can be either interlaced or progressive, but by default it will be interlaced.

The Canon 5D is a bad choice for stereoscopic shooting. There’s no way to sync the cameras. You should look into using Sony EX3 or Canon XHG1s cameras, with a sync generator connected to both of them to lock them in sync.

[adam taylor] “and even if you do buy into FCP and Apple, and a year down the road Apple stops developing FCP..so what?”
Right. It’s not a religion, it’s a tool. If Apple were to stop supporting FCP, there’s other editing platforms to move to. I just hope that they run on Mac OS!
Personally, I’m more worried about Mac Pro towers not having enough PCIe slots than 15″ MB Pros not having FW or an express card slot. That cuts across application boundaries.

Florian, has it ever occurred to you that not everyone who buys a Macbook Pro or Mac Pro tower runs Final Cut? There are probably a lot more people using these computers than there are FCP users, and for them FW ports & Express slots aren’t important.
Personally, I wonder why anyone would ever want to cut video on a 15″ laptop, I can’t even bear doing it on a 17″ laptop. Give me my twin 26″ monitors, please!
And there are many apps that run on Macs & use all 8 cores that aren’t FCP, and many people who run them.
IOW, there are people out there besides you & me who buy Macs, & Apple is making business decisions based on both FCP users & non FCP users.

I just typed “oil spill” into the search engine at corbis.com and there’s a couple of possibilities right there for you on the first page of results, including birds & seals.

[Nicholas Hronopoulos] “I’m using an iMac, and do not have a display monitor,”
That’s really most of your answer right there. Without a monitor that’s capable of accurately displaying your footage in the proper color space, you just don’t know what it really looks like. Most likely, your footage is a little bright to begin with.
