You can simply alter the metadata in your 25p movie from progressive to interlaced using Digital Rebellion’s QuickTime Edit.

[Bob Zelin] “ps – Coraid is not on that list. It will not do what you want. “
Why do you say that Bob?

Although we got mixed responses from Avid and consultants on this we’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to ensure the Tape ID sticks is to embed the Tape MOB metadata in the media file and not have it merely associated in the database.

[Alex Gerulaitis] ” It’s entirely plausible for high end (and very high performance) boxes from Isilon and EMC to already have “objectified” storage to some extent.”
Well a 36 drive Isilon X400 is only capable of sustaining 750MB/sec. Many 16 drive RAID chassises from a number of manufacturers claim in excess of 1000BM/sec. No matter how many X400 you strap together it will always fail to deliver more than 750MB/sec from a single request. Most RAID boxes will scale up for single requests.

Think of a harddrive or chassis of harddrives as simply a place to put data. No RAID or filesystem. Files are grouped together as “objects” which can be any group of complete files. These objects are then chopped up into pieces and spread across storage systems for redundancy. These storage systems can be anywhere.
Because it can use any storage system it can grow large but performance is not great because there is no RAID in place to speed things up. It’s big, redundant and slow generally so it’s good for clouds.

The short answer is yes absolutely.
It helps if it’s OS X Server and 10.6 where it’s a simple file sharing setting. In 10.7 and 10.8 Apple has eliminated this setting so a bit of Terminal work is needed or use NFSManager.

[Ian Johnson] “We’ve been using Sparse Bundles to cut with FCPX on our server.”
If your server can export an NFS share it will act exactly like a SAN to FCPX with all the SAN Location functionality intact.

[Bernard Newnham] “A problem oh so easily fixed.”
…our users can still ‘Edit Anything.’
Except the most popular 10bit codec… ProRes, a problem not so easy to fix.

Your cable box most likely has a YUV output that is not copy protected. You can record this with a KiPro. I was looking for the same capability but went with the $475 BlackMagic h264 Recorder.

We only keep the ProRes on our San. We’re also still on FCP7 so no real use for the raw. The only metadata we need is “reel” and TC which we use CatDV to assign and Episode to “bake into” the file.
