I heard that as yet there is no real solid editing solution for the JVCHD-100 on a mac. Supposedly apple doesen't support it. Does anyone know how/when editing the JVCHD-100 will become possible? By January!? PLEASE!?

720p30 works fine in FCP5. Lumiere HD is required to remove the pulldown for 720P24.
 
And after editing how should we export the movie? My camera has DV in (HD101) but the tape will only play on a JVC deck right? So, if I'll send a tape for HD broadcasting which format should I use? HDV seems to be incompatible with it self...

Isn't it because you have a HD101? If you had the HD100E, would it work?
Or is it the other way around?

You can use Lumiere to output 720P24 back to HDV tape - but I haven't tested it yet myself. I suppose if your sequence was 720P30, you could output back to HDV straight from FCP - but I haven't tested that yet either.
 
Has anyone submitted programming on hard drive? When I was working at MTV, some commercials and promos came in uncompressed on hard drives.

No, the HD101 is the one with DVin capability. I can export to tape, but it will still be HDV that can only be played on a JVC deck or camera. I'm a bit confused about this, so many options, so many incompatibilities... Most of my work is for broadcasting, for now I'm only working in SD. I export to DV and then give a copy in digibeta or SX to the broadcaster. Lets suppose I export my sequence in 720P30 or 720P25, can I then make a copy to HDCAM or D5 like nateweaver says and then deliver it to the broadcaster? Will they be able to play it?

In that case, I would export 720P25 and see if you can find a post house that can convert it to HDCAM for you. If it is short enough (30 second commercial,) you could export in an uncompressed format to CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and take it to a post house for output.
You need to contact your broadcaster and get a submission requirements guide. Are they a HD broadcaster?
 
They aren't, not yet but they're investing in HD equipment. Some of my clients are already making their masters in HD. Thanks for the info.
