Transferring from DR-HD100 to FCP5

How long do the clips recording to the DR100 take to load onto FC5? I was told it was immediate. The reason why I ask is because I am doing a feature and I want to upload all the dailies to FC5 at the end of each day without taking hours away from production.

Also, is there anyone who JUST use the DR100 without the tape back-up, and if so, how reliable is that? I really want to get away from using tapes.

Thanks

Stick with reduntant recording. Even if you throw those tapes in a box and never look at them, you will have the confidence that the footage exists in a physical format somewhere. You never know who might accidentally trash some media files, and your insurance company may require redundant tape backup for the "digital negative" rider.

You can start editing "immediately" by using the DR-HD100 as a media drive.
However, the first thing I would do in your workflow is to copy the media to another hard drive and work from that. This way you can put the DR-HD100 back into service immediately, and know that there is already one backup done.

Since it is Firewire 400, data transfer will be just as fast as any Fat-32 formatted external FW harddrive.

Hi Brian,

I consult for a TV station in Puerto Rico on the side (it's a nice getaway) and I set them up with an HD110 and a DR-HD100 with the dream of going tapeless. And a dream it was. About once a week they get a corrupted file that only contains digital noise - even after checking playback on location. (They are working in DV25.) Needles to say, they now keep a tape in the camera and need to use it every week. I love recording to disk, but the system is not as robust as I had hoped. Good luck.
