(Edit, Yes, I know this is not possible) Greetings! I'm about pick up the glorious A1 here in about a week or so. I sold my jvc 110 (kind of a weird switch) and I'm super pumped about getting the a1, and returning to using a canon cam. My Xl2 rocked. I can't wait to start contributing on this forum as well!
Anywho! Right now, I'm using a macbook pro and fcp to edit... I eventually plan on getting a sweet desktop before too long. I know it's not possible to capture with the A1 through a black magic card period, or on my macbook, because that's not possible. (I'm planning ahead here) Wow, that was kind of confusing. But you guys are smart. But I got to thinking! Use a different cam to caputre. So... what consumer camera out there would let me capture, and convert through black magic. It'd be slick to not have to capture with my A1. I think JVC has one, but I can't recall... The main reason for all of this is, I keep hearing the hdv codec causes nothing but headaches, and the dvcpro codec is the route to roll, that's where the black magic card comes into play. Or... should I not even waste my time converting to dvcpro? Help me out here, brothas. Take it easy. Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward from hearing from ya.
