About ProRes...

Actually I don´t understand all that compression mambo jambo.

Usualy (and if possible) I record uncompressed and keep it that way till output.

If I have to record in DVCPro HD the first thing I do, is to transfer the scenes I use to uncompressed, before I start editing or grading.

Disk space is so cheap those days, you can set up a nice big, fast raid for under $1000 that handles uncompressed with ease in the timeline.

Look at my screengrabs for Loss Fest. Almost no noise and mucho headroom for grading.
Than try that with DVCPro HD converted to ProRes.

Uncompressed is way too large and not necessary. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between ProRes and uncompressed.

ProRes supports 10bit color space and you can easily achieve the same results with ProRes. There will be no visual differences to that image you posted.

And there are further benefits by using ProRes, maybe you start reading the link I provided before talking about it.

By the way, I'm not talking about DVCPro HD here, this is the HMC150 forums and on the mac you NEED to transcode anyway. I would probably not transcode to ProRes when my camcorder records in DVCPro HD.
