No, I still have not found a way to do this…

Does anyone out there know if this is possible?

Thanks to all for the tips.

I am looking forward to trying this set up. It will be really nice to not have to tie up the edit suite for MPEG-2 compressing.

Thanks, I will try the transfers via network and FW drive. Hopefully they will work equally well, if not I will follow your advice and use the FW transfer method.

How do you go about the placement of chapter points, if Procoder does not recognize the ones from FCP? Is there a function in Procoder that allows the creation of frame accurate chapter points, prior to encoding?

Thanks for all your help,

One other question: does Procoder recognize the chapter markers set and saved by Final Cut, in the QuickTime file?

Again, thanks,

> File transfer is slower than over the internet, but it’s possible. I started out that way, but found it much faster to use a hot swappable firewire drive.

Actually, I get very fast transfer speeds between the Macs and PCs, using Gigabit Ethernet. Not quite as fast as FW800, but I suspect it is close to FW400 and USB2.

I do have a FW400 drive that I could swap back and forth, but network seems a lot easier, and nearly, if not equally, as fast.

I am glad to hear that Procoder works directly with the QuickTime NTSC-DV files. Do you know if Procoder Express would work for this function, or will I require the full Procoder version?

Thanks,

Thanks! This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for!

However, rather than using a FireWire or USB2 drive, would transfer via Gigabit Ethernet be adequately fast? Also, does Procoder work natively with QuickTime files, or do they have to be converted to avi or some other intermediate format?

Thanks,

FCP seems to treat HDV different than most (all?) other media. It even has it’s own, different log/capture window.

What I am curious to find out, is if there is a process to offline in DV, then online in HDV, without having to resort to EDLs or some other kludgy work-around.

Thanks,
