In terms of HDV capture via FW, I doubt there is any difference.
What's so frustrating is that Apple provides all the code needed to capture .M2T in their QT toolkit. They also provide a demo app using their code. And, of course, they provide an HDV codec.
Boris should Open Source the BASE Media 100 code so coders could add what they need. There are fantastic Open Source video/graphics tools plus a huge community.
Trying to SELL Media 100 with today's $99 NLE's supporting new formats makes no sense to me.
Then Boris could sell a Boris plug-in to the Open Source app. for those who want Boris. Frankly, the way we used to work with M100 and AE still seems fine to me.
Apple makes code development EZ -- it's a shame that a slowly dying product is still trying to be sold against Apple, Avid, and Adobe products. Open Source of the BASE product would give it new life. The more users, the more who might by the Boris plug-in.
