Re: [FCP-L] Re: Media Manager question (FCP 7)

If it's an Intel machine... why not go PRORES? That's pretty much what
it's for. I'd go for 422 or even LT, both of which should be much
better than DV50 at similar data-rates and you could even maintain the
10bits, should that actually even be necessary.
