Thanks for the tip. Since we have about 6 Dual G5’s and 4 Mac Pro’s I will have to figure out how to tie them all into the network for use in helping us transcode large amounts of files like this in the future.
Thanks again for the link.

I agree that this “sucks” when we have this type of work flow on large projects, but is there a better way that you can think of to do what we are trying to do? With all this talk about editing with proxy’s I keep hearing about, is there something I could have done from the beginning that would have cut down on the time it took to get all this stuff transcoded?

As for the “Transcode XDCam EX to XDCam files” I was specifically talking about using the XDCam transfer software to take the raw XDCam files and turn them into QTs. Since the Transfer Software won’t allow you to turn it into ProRes from the beginning, you have to make all the XDCam QTs and then convert them to pro res.
