Just wondering how the .dpx file read function development was coming along? Regards.

As with most features, when it is done you will hear about it, the development is underway. We are a tad short on engineering staff for the number of projects are taking on, so we don't like to predict release dates.

All in good time, patience has its rewards, especially if something is not rushed and turned loose prematurely.

BTW, that dropout and pixellation issue I reported a while back regarding ProsepctHD looks like it might have been a forewarning of a camera breakdown as the camera subsequently failed with a tape tension problem. -

- Not enough of an error to adversely affect the recorded image but enough to set off an error a few minutes into playback after spooling forward into the clip I wanted.

Might be worth flagging as a possible random phantom cause of m2t capture error and false scene breaks, especially if the camera is being spooled backward and forward. Camera was a Sony HVR-Z1P which had been dusted at an outdoors music gig, cleaned and thought to be okay be but obviously not.
