Thanks Bill, Bret and Brett,
as a disclaimer, my deep background is audio. I’ve only been working with video for about 7 years. Most of it with an XL2.
Maybe because I’m shooting 35 mbps HD Quicktime mpeg2. I have a new JVC HM650 and maybe am overdoing it to get the highest possible quality. It does offer h.264. I can’t put my fingers on the h.264 data rate at the moment.
In audio, any data compression is a bad thing. Maybe I’m being overzealous about that.
I was hoping that Apple’s Compressor had been tuned up for FCP X, but apparently not. I always found it a but strange. Thanks for the ip about turbo.264 Brett. I take a look at that.
Thanks a lot!
