Which file format should I use?

I've just bought a Focus enhancements FS-C recorder for a Canon XL H1. We'll be recording 1080 24f. The Focus machine want to know which of these file formats to record in. I'll be cutting in Final Cut.

Raw DV
AVI Type1
AVI Type2
Canopus AVI.

Any bright ideas? Focus aren't too good with telephone technology.

Thanks

I read somewhere that raw is the best format (no compression); but it needs processing ...

Don't believe (and repost) everything you read because that is incorrect. Anything with the letters "DV" in it is compressed somehow. You are confusing this with the RAW format in Photography.

Harry,

Sorry, mate...I have no experience with this technology.
