I did it in July with school equipments and we have no blu-ray dvd players. I had to convert it to SD and was rather unhappy. Playback Pro requires pretty powerful Mac though. Would there be any more affordable solutions? I don’t plan to run installation often. Thanx.

Thanx for your advice. But why would Brightsign cheaper than Playback Pro?

Thanx everyone for sharing your opnions, experience and advices. I´m now considering editing the film in avid as an option. the canon structure (card structure) and file names have been changed which makes it difficult for me to transcode in batch with mpegstreamclip/compressor. Well I guess I´ll encounter the same problem with transcoding in DNxHD. It´s an option cos the grading coudl be done on nucoda filmmaster and it works well with avid project.
it´s pity that there´re not many threads on avid-canon 5d. anyone got a hint?
thanx in advance,

the film was shot between 2009 and 2010 so it started with 30fps and the team decided to stay with 30 fps until the picture lock. it is already shot and i´m only in charge of the editing. my search over the internet also have shown that H.264 not a friendly editing format. the team that performed the test workflow are now not available so I´m searching and hope to find some answer before they get back to me. if there had been some misunderstanding/mistake and i would have to transfer it to prores 422, would one then conform to H.264 for grading or on what codec/format would you grade it?
I appreciate your response.

that sounds really bad for me but thanx for ur prompt reply. the shooting team ran a test workflow n they told me it worked well, that´s why they want to keep editing it native and it´s only possible with fcp 7 so far i´ve been told. it´s my first canon 5d video project and it´s turned out not working for me. i´m not doing the 30- 25 conversion lucky me. the reason why we want h.264 also because of color correction and grading later. the dop wants it h.264. from her test, prores looses lots of image information, especially in low light.
maybe someone has a different experience, hopefully a successful one to share?

thanx a heap for the info and links. I’m in Germany, PAL region. I’ll try it tmr with creatin the AUX TC. My waves are mono files which are tedious to import and to pair them. The bwf files are delivered as wav. which probably doesnt need bwf2xml.
I wonder if the Aux TC created by FCP actually could be accurate to the Clockit TC on the audio track 1 which FC cant read directly. Any idea?
