Hi
Just wondering if anyone was using 5DtoRGB in the PPro workflow.

With the native H.264 abilities of PPro not sure what added advantage if any transcoding to another codec offers...
 
A full RGB HD file will offer several disadvantages, bitrate among them. You'll need a really fast RAID array to edit such files.

But, they will hold up better if a lot of post processing is to be done.

No they won't. They will have exactly the same information as the native files, ergo no improvement.

That's only the case with CS5.5. CS5 uses "fast" chroma upsampling, which is similar to the way QuickTime does it. The quality is inferior.

The only other thing is that editing uncompressed it still faster than editing native H.264. Even though Premiere is an improvement over Final Cut Pro, it's still not as smooth as editing uncompressed or with DCT-based compression formats like ProRes:
