Thanks for the input. :)

Thanks Rupe, that was ever so helpful and enlightening.

My name is Elliot. Hey I'm still a bit confused though. When I get my minidv back from the posthouse with my encoded footage. Is there going to be a loss in quality if I use my cheapo consumer minidv camera to dump the footage into fcp? Thanks!

Thanks!

Hello, I need a little advice. I am shooting a short film, probably 3-5 minutes in total. I am shooting on reversal stock and was wondering how to get the best quality output with what I've got. I want to edit in fcp so when I have the film transfered, what is the best format I should ask for? Mini DV? I have a cheap mini dv cam I can use to dump the footage. Or should I do uncompressed quicktime on a hard drive? I don't have a digideck so any advice would be great.
