Thanks for the heads up on x264; I’ll check into it!

Thanks for the the quick and in-depth response!

mov is not a codec – Sloppy writing on my end… I meant to write that the codec is HDV 1080i60. It should open on any Final Cut system, but the manufacturer of the external Hard Drive posted a note on their site that with the latest Mac updates that there were issues, otherwise I’d just send those clips to the client.

Since it’s corporate work, I may just go the H.264 route since it’s more universal, small file size and I don’t know what software the client intends to use for editing. I’ll do a little research on MPEG2, but think the file size may be prohibitive.

Thanks!
