Exactly!
Clients are charged for additional storage, not for new technologies. We have been doing this for years, now.

Sounds like a good idea…
BUT… I’m sure that the clients will be thinking it should be cheaper since you don’t have to log and capture anymore.
To be perfectly honest, it still takes about the same amount of time to work tapeless as it does with tape. Faster on the front end but it bites you on the back end, so usually it evens out for us.

I have an entire TerraBlock 12D full of these drives that has been running for more than a year without a hiccup.

Amazing what quality and support can do, isn’t it.

When you see weird stuff like this… ALWAYS delete your prefs and zap your PRAM.
Generally, this will fix any of these abnormalities.

[Borjis] “HDV comes in fine, so why can’t a quicktime wrapped XDCAM HD file come in?”
Well… XDCAM HD comes in fine…. but don’t expect for it to come out of AfterEffects as XDCAM HD. It will not work. I end up rendering everything to the Animation codec for the best quality when working with XDCAM HD.

[Borjis] “But what I have found is that by capturing it in another codec and not just copying the xdcam data over, surely that takes longer. maybe a third longer. And it takes much less room.
1 Hour of XDCAM HD in the HQ mode is about 25GB.
That same hour of DVCPRO-HD is about 50GB.How could it be more efficient for time and disk space with that in mind?
“You’re right it does sound silly. Let me explain.
In our work for every one hour of disc or HDV tape we may only have 20 minutes of footage to draw. Well, if I import the entire disc, it takes more space in the long run. Yes, I can go thru all of the clip set in-points and out-points, but it becomes the same process of Log and Capture. Then after I do this I’ll need to add notes or rename clips so that anyone else could understand what the clips are.
Do this make better sense? Oh yeah…. you can forget about the long conforming process after your done with XDCAM HD before you send back to disc. That time that I may have wasted on the front end is eaten up on the back end. Besides, have you tried to work with XDDCAM HD in AfterEffects?

Thanks for reminding us… I was just trying to remember the acronym.

It scales the video properly. That’s the great thing about HD video. Scaling is usually not a problem.

Work just fine. Either way, FCP can handle it.
