Power point on the Mac has an Quiktime export feature that “sort-of” works. You’ll have to re-export the file thru QT pro to a DV codec or whatever your using. Fcp doesn’t like the file out of PPT. It’s buggy and you have to play with it.. oh and it looks crappy, but if you have to have the PPT motion, give it a shot.

Some claim to see a difference when capturing DV thru SDI, though I have not. (unless your trying to chroma key ) I’m currently working on a 2 hour doc for broadcast shot on Digibeta, but offlined at DV resolution with many photos. Sent the client a couple check tapes, One uncompressed 8-bit SDI and the other DV50. They said both met thier broadcast standards. My current plan is to redig to DV50 and deliver on DigiBeta.
That being said, If your starting with DV material, I would keep it DV unless you have lots of GFX which always take a hit. With some short projects shot in DV, I’ll edit in DV, add text and GFX then switch the Sequence to DV50 or uncompressed and render the timeline out to kick up the GFX, provided they are of higher res. to begin with.

We have both the Aja IO and Decklink HD ( the $600 Card) The IO is rock solid and has every In and out known to video. (SD only) Aja is a great company with great Tech support.
The Decklink is a little less stable but can do great looking HD on the cheap. BM’s tech support is hard to get a hold of.
We use both systems for broadcast work and have never had any issues with quality.

I usually ask, “How long do you think it is?” If they think it’s shorter than it is then I feel confident it held their interest.
