Re: With 8.1.1 BM has just thrown a very destructive blow to the entire C-grading business

But you don't need a Decklink card - you can use an Intensity Pro card and it works fine, and I would say it is preferable to monitor in 8bit if your final output is TV (which is 8bit). With a Vt25 or Vt30 plasma, you can go into the primaries of your monitor via a serial cable, and so no LUT boxes needed.

So at this point, all they got from me is $125 for a card (with small margins, it costs a lot to make a card) vs. the $1000 they would have gotten for the software had I not returned it.

I think they should offer refunds to anyone who bought DaVinci within the last 2 months
