What do I tell the lab so I can edit from the miniDVCAM tapes and later online the projects from the digibeta tapes so the timecode matches up and everything runs smoothly?
Telecine to the digi-betas and make dvcam CLONES of the digi-beta to edit with. The timcode on the digi-betas and dvcam tapes should then match perfectly and onlining will go smoothly. Another option would be to use your friends digibeta setup to capture the footage as DV files and use those for the offline edit.
I don’t know much about editing film in fcp. It might important to get a “flex file” or something from the lab. Make SURE you understand the entire workflow you will be using before you start editing. You should to learn cinema tools inside and out. I think it’s essential to keep the CT database in order. It seems like you are intent on learing all this stuff so your already ahead of alot of people.

Have you tried “remove advanced pulldown” from the FCP tools menu?

I would try doing the conversion to WAV in quicktime on the mac if you aren’t already or use A-pack on the mac to make ac3 files. Or try exporting directly from FCP timeline as a WAV file (I’m not sure if this works)
-
In FCP use “export using quicktime conversion” and select one of the web presets.
-
In the “export using quicktime conversion” window set the size from the default 4:3 aspect ratio (ie: 320×240) to a 16:9 ratio (ie: 426×240)

You can use G Film Converter to add 2:3 pulldown to the 23.98 footage:

You might need to uncheck “matched name only” when reconnecting.

It’s possible to digitize through the G5’s optical input by making a new capture preset and changing it’s audio settings to optical input.

Please bring that question to NAB. 🙂
Can’t make it to NAB this year. You guys will have to ask for me!
I should have said “twice the data rate” not “half the compression”. -

The SDX900 can record in dv25 mode, but only on DVCPRO tape of course.
