Basic HDSDI computer question from a freelance shooter...

[Thomas Smet]

Another advantage of photojpeg over DVCPRO Hd is for files that will be sent to a PC for graphics work. Quicktime on a Windows based PC can not use DVCPRO HD files. I understand this may not be a concern for many people but to some it could be. Photojpeg works great on a PC with no other software or codecs needed.

Yes Barlow,
This is why I am trying to use the equipment I have access to - The Intel Quads are Rumoured to come in the first few months of '07...and perhaps Cineform soon too...

Humongous point I negelected to mention. Very easy to move between platforms in that codec. I haven't tried it but in theory you could edit in Premiere Pro also with the codec...unless Adobe abandoned QT authoring in PPro.

Any PC users tried editing PhotoJPEG in Premiere Pro?
