GY-HD100U footage to pro format at DVinfo.net

Justin Sko · March 19th, 2008, 08:04 AM

I just directed a video using the HD100U and now need to transfer the footage to a more universal pro format to be compatible with the rest of our finishing platforms (Quantel, Discreet, Avid) .

My options are

a) capture via firewire into a Final Cut system and export some type of image sequence (.tga, .tiff, etc.)

b) transfer directly from the component outputs into an HD D5 deck

I hear the Apple Pro Res 422 codecs are great for acquisition, but I can't import those into our Quantels, so I need another option.

Since I am new to this camera I need to know how to get the most out of the footage. What is the best method to transfer this footage without losing any more quality?
