Re: Intensity(Pro) vs CineForm

I believe that CineForm Aspect HD withe the Intensity card for ingest would be a good way to go. The edit responsiveness is far better with CineForm over HDV native, also the quality is maintained better than using HDV native, and gauging by the various codecs and how I've seen them compare to CineForm, I'd bet that the CineForm codec probably outperforms the MJPEG codec you mention.

CineForm AVIs also play with everything else (AE, ProCoder, etc) very easily.

Yes, it costs something of course, and the CineForm projects need to render non-native effects and transitions, but for me, the extra productivity is worth it.
