Using a mixer for interviews

I shoot with an EX1 and my method to date has been to use lavs and go straight into the camera. I've been pleased with the results so far (certainly compared to the hissy PD150), but someone...

Check put this thread. I actually did lose a clip - the only one so far. I attribute it to not having reformatted my card which I now do all the time because of this experience. I don't actually...

I had them send my camera back to me without fixing it. If I spent over $1100 fixing the port, I may wind up getting not much more than that when I resell it. I'll just use the camera as a second...

When I told JVC to send back the camera, I got another estimate from them that was suddenly $1100 (which makes me wonder about the original estimate - the part was listed at $1500!). Still too much...

I did that and the file went from 63MB to 1.5GB. Then I tried converting it to a DV file and it came out 45MB. I just sent the smaller file to my client and we'll see how it goes. Thanks.

Converting mov files to file for Premiere 2.

We have footage shot on the EX1 and converted to MOV files (the original files were erased). Is there a way to convert them to files that Premiere 2 will recognize without having to recompress them?
