Hello I posted this a few days ago and have been weeping for two days wondering Why nobody from all you videoguys (gals) have not answered so all you smart knowledgeable people I wonder if anyone can help. I have collected 30 hours of HDV footage in Tibet and want to begin logging. It was shot on sony hdva1u. My edit system on PC is premiere pro I also capture using the DV raptor card. If I log footage on PC with this system. Will it be availabe to be read on MAC final cut pro. I will offline on PC myself and possibly have the edit done on MAC is this possible?????. Can I possibly capture on quicktime and bypass the raptor will this be readable on both systems
Thanks

It should be possible to capture raw M2T (HDV) files and have those be readable by both Mac & PC editing software, but transferring anything like logging information between them might be difficult. If you're using Avid software I think that has both a Mac and PC version; otherwise software incompatibility would be a challenge.
