Advise.

Can anyone tell me what system of backup are they using once they have completed a captured project that was recorded. Are you just burning the files to DVD or are your burning the finished project.

Any advise would be great , I am currently editing with AVID PRO and I was using dual layer disks to back up my projects , only thing is I am using about 4 disks a project seeing it is about 30 - 60 gigs of space I need.

Thanks
Domenic

I have the FS 100 version 2. I shot some 1080i footage. Instead of using P2, I decided to use Raw DV. Here's the major problem. I can only watch the clip from the camera. Once I imported to a computer. I can't view the file. I tried every player to view it. No luck. Final cut Pro HD doesn't recognize it. I tried compressor, Procoder, media cleaner to convert this file to a quicktime. No luck. Focus enhancement hasn't been helpful. They're stumped. The file extension is DV not m2t. Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? As i said before, the clips can only be watched through the camera. Outside that, I only see scrambled pixalation. Is there an mac application that can convert these dv files to quicktime or an editing program that recognizes these DV files?

First shoot with FS-C about 40 minutes in LCD light started to flicker, dim, turn off, & come on again by itself during recording. FS-C had AC Power and battery installed no connections were loose. Second shoot about 40 minutes in same problem. Focus enhancements tech support has not heard of this problem. Tech support recommended exchanging or repairing the FS-C. Video captured correctly(DVI type 2) from XH-A1. LCD light is set to ON. I did buy the FS-C from B&H however I can not return it because I no longer have the mounting thumb screw in an unmodified condition.

Hey Guys,
I'm working with the DR-HD100, has anyone been able to mark OMF's on the fly and then allocate to a bin? I rename the bins to try and help workflow, but the recorder creates a new bin for the OMF's. Is it not possible to organise OMF files into bins or am I doing something wrong?
