You all have been really helpful, thank you all.

Shane, I used to find firewire 800 disks in all local stores but now it’s really hard to find them, that’s why I said they are “disappearing”, I assume that they are going to gradually stop selling them and replace them for usb 3 disks.

Steve, I used to buy my disks online but now I prefer to buy them at local stores because of a bad experience I’ve had (the disks arrived damaged and it was a big hassle to return them and get some new ones).

Also, here in Europe we have few (if any) good online stores that sell these disks, and buying them from the US is always a problem because of the customs.

I’ve decided to go for a OWC Mercury Elite enclosure, it seems to be the best solution for me (thanks for that Shane).

Once again, thank you all

Thank you so much Rafael and Shane, problem solved.

Many thanks Shane, you have been very helpful.

For now my budget is very tight, so I guess that the best thing to do is find out how much will a post house charge for the conversion, if the price is too high, I’ll have no alternative but to downconvert the video to SD using compressor like you said.

Thanks again

Many thanks Shane and Walter.

Just one more question, which card do you recommnend to use with a Mac Pro Quad Core and Final Cut Pro?

Thanks
