great… so i guess back to my original question… what is the best way to get this footage onto my computer so i can edit it?? Should I… 1) down-convert to another format and then bring into my G5 2) bring it to a post house and have them import the footage 3) use a deck that has firewire input/output 4) rent an HDSDI card?
Thanks Arnie… and no offense taken, yes i may be “in over my head” as far as capturing this footage onto my hard drives – that’s why I am asking the experts… but was hired to do this job because sensibility and strengths as a story teller… I have edited 6 features, just never this format… I will be fine once I have the footage captured properly.
