[Matt Lyon] "ProRes need a top of the line G5 or intel mac, minimum. To me that implies that ProRes is MORE processor intensive. That's not the same as saying that ProRes' data i/o requirements are lower."
Again, I'm not really in agreement with you on this. I'm fairly certain ProRes would play on a G4 if there was a version of FCP with ProRes that would play on a G4.
BTW, all the great stuff you discovered about FCP time-stamping audio files makes you a techno force to be reckoned with, so I certainly don't doubt your technical chops one bit. I just think you might be assuming that ProRes is less friendly than it really is.
