Re: EX1R workflow?

[Ron Pestes] "You won't be able to give a client the footage on site unless he has a computer that will play the EX format or can rewrap it to another codec. Plan on burning a DVD for him later. "

I've handed clients the video with ClipBrowser. They can also play with VLC player so no Sony specific software is needed.

Don't confuse rewrapping with encoding. Rewrapping is still the same codec. Encoding to another codec...is encoding.

If the client wants something else they pay (or the cost is built in) just as making VHS Window Dubs had been for BetaSP or DigiBeta shoots.

VLC really works well if they have a reasonably fast computer. They get to see full master quality and some of my clients really appreciate that.

[Ron Pestes] "ing so you can make sure you have everything transferred to the computer with no problems before erasing. Two 32 gig cards should give you about 4 hr. of recording. "
[Ron Pestes] "If you have a laptop you can do this in the field as the camera is recording to another card but the best bet is to have enough cards to handle a days shoot without downloading"

Yes, it's best to buy more cards and not risk offloading during a shoot where mistakes can happen. That's why many people buy SDHC adaptors since one can get many of those compared to SxS.
