Just bought the MC Transport on BH Photo. It's a bummer they don't stock it (special order).

The short answer is FCP can't export each channel like an Avid can.
The longer answer is SoundTrack Pro will do it (has a nice export function that will do what you want).

I was afraid of that. Is this firmware patchable (like the EX1 was for HD-SDI)? Don't know why they'd bother with embedded audio and timecode without proper frame controls.
Thanks Barry.

District 9 - WOW!

Intense is an understatement. Totally enjoyable.

What I don't understand is how a major studio trusts a 29 year old with 30 million dollars for a first feature (writer/director). Someone doesn't...

Most here condone editing HDV native. Not saying you can't do it but I'd try Pro-Res.
In fact, hit Apple+0, change your compressor to Pro-Res 422, re-render and see if the pixelation goes away....

Mike - Your information is wrong here. Please see the provided screenshot from the Pro-Res white paper. Pro-Res 422 & Pro-Res 422 HQ are 10-bit codecs.

Test the media outside of DSP. Burn a disc in Toast or in OS X. If that works you know it is an error in DSP.

I would also burn to a directory first (also called build and burn).

Our feature was shot on the XL2 (DV) and up-converted to 720P Pro-Res 422 (via AE).
We gained in color correction. Go Pro-Res 422 (no need for HQ) if your end result matters.

Whoops - Missed this.

Proxy is a native resolution codec - you don't loose anything in terms of spacial resolution or framerate. It all deals directly with data-rate to expedite editing.

Thoughts on workflow

Realize first that down-conversion from HDV to 60i NTSC will require some knowledge of final outcome on your part.

First is aspect ratio - You must decide which is best:

1) Convert HDV to 16:9...

Not sure how this guy could have a window into the soul of Panasonic. Probably wants you to buy a more expensive camera (like the 300). I can't believe the 170 is only going for 4k w/ rebate.
