Re: Is "export to xdcam" the holy grail of archiving?

I thought what they were doing (going to do?) was open up the XDCAM Disc to file capacity data storage. Basically opening up the 500MB limit. If they've done that then it doesn't need to support the codec specifically as long as it can handle it as a data file.

Of course those 16GB Transcend Class 6 SDHC cards are getting close to the XDCAM Disc price range.

Given that FCP can now go back to XDCAM EX MP4, you could conceivably go back to the SDHC card and hand the edit master off if someone were taking into an Avid or some other beast for finishing.
