I shot some stuff for a short film on the DVX100 earlier this month, and instead of using tape, my friend offered to record through firewire 800 directly to the harddrive of his macbook pro.
Well, I didn't really think about it at the time, but I'm not sure if he knew exactly what he was doing!
The footage looks fine. I shot in 24pA but he did in fact capture at 29.97. The only thing was he did it directly through without removing advanced pulldown while he was capturing. We removed it afterwards.
Anyway, I'm not in front of a computer where I can test it, but how does the set uo work exactly? Is it like capturing through tape? Were there any other special settings we should have set up? Or is the 29.97 setting the only thing I should have worried about?
*While it LOOKS fine, I just want to avoid problems down the road. I intend to check my friends computer next week after my question is answered here. Thanks.
