Thanks for your reply I guess I understand the DV aspect and converting to 8 bit, but am still confused on settings within FCP’s timeline and export. 1. Can I ingest Beta SP (component) using aja’s 8 bit uncompressed setting? 2. If my timeline is setup as uncompressed 8 bit, how do I transcode DV video to play on that timeline? 3. When exporting to DVD studio can I just use the uncompressed 8 bit setting from timeline? How about exporting to tape Beta SP(component)?
