Re: maximum file size limit fcp/quicktime??

[Jeffrey Herzog] "I've got a G5, Kona HD card, and xserve raid. We're working in 720p59.94 uncompressed from varicam origination source material.

I've got a finished show with audio, color correct, etc, sitting on my system, that I need to master to D5. Easiest/cheapest way to do this I think will be to transfer the show to a post house with an uncompressed FCP system and a D5 machine."


Ok, I'm a little confused here. You say you're working in 720p / 59.94 uncompressed from varicam origination material and then you say you need to go to a post house with an uncompressed system? Do you mean you're working with native DVCPro HD codec and now want to master to D5?

That's easy, just rent a D5 deck and output via HD-SDI from your Kona 2. No need to export a movie as it will probably look better going straight out to HD-SDI.
