Converting HVX footage to quicktime without FCP for clientPosted by Gerrit Vooren
It's little pricey but I used ProxyMill on a friends 2TB of HVX200 footage that he had been accumulating for a doc on a rock band. Various managements and agents wanted copies of the footage so I set up a system of cranking out USB keys full of H264 of the originals with burn in timecode. As there were multiple copies of the camera master P2 files we were able to convert all the footage in a week or so of off and on or overnight rendering.
That is well written software that does everything it says it will and was easy to set up. There was a free demo that would do 70 clips before it locked up. It was enough to evaluate workflow and timing to establish that it would do what we needed. The money was worth it compared to quotes he got to burn DVDs of the footage in real time?! ak Sleeplings, AWAKE!
Yeah...note that the decoder is a DEMO...meaning limited. SO the main software will cost money. I too do what Andrew does...I have Proxymill installed so when I offload the cards, this software automatically makes H.264 QT files with burned in code, that I can then drop on a hard drive and hand off to the client at the end of the shoot.

Is he on a Mac? I'm quite sure the installation of P2cms from Panasonic comes with a dvcprohd component for QuickTime. And it's free.
