This is different. I guess it records m2t to hard drive.
A great back up and cheap too. Compared to more than $1500 for firestore. |

In my current workflow I capture to a USB drive raw m2t using Connect HD and then import into Avid with no performance issues. This is really a cool littie that I could use right now. Can you play m2t in quicktime 7?? If so, you could do dailies on a video iPod. |
Note to moderator. This is pretty interesting product. I wonder if it should move to the digital disk forum alomg with the firestore solutions?

I assume you are talking about viewing dailies on a plugged in monitor. Actually haven't really looked a video iPod closely, always considered it useless for video, but can it actually output to a monitor at at least DV resolution ? |

pre and post recording capabilities tells me this device has a buffer of some kind. Which leads me to believe that it would be very easy to record footage to a hard drive.

Yes this could affect Firestore sales except the Firestore has all of these Codecs for Avid OMF, FCP QT, Adobe Premiere AVI, DVC Pro 50 and DVC Pro HD, hence you get a lot of choices. But for HDV this is probably one of the biggest surprise today. I mean you could use a 500 Gigabyte drive and get probably 40 or More Hours of material.

If I can record video native to fcp, (i.e not m2t) I will definintly buy this thing the second it comes out.

Can it get a higher data rate stream off the camera. I know that with firewire, it has a video mode that is like 40Mb/s, but I don't know if this DV mode/resolution, or another one like 640*480. But I imagine that the USB stream it gives will be the same as the Firewire gives.
Thanks Wayne. |
Would you need to reformat your ipod for this? This would be great, but only if I could also keep some songs on my ipod and still use it for that.
Now all we need is an ultra portable firewire mic preamp that outputs in DV codec for doing location sound with our ipod as well. |
