Re: [Avid-L2] Source code on output

Greg,
I do agree a simple switch in Avid would be handy (and i'm quite convinced
it's an easy job to make it.)
For me, i start making this kind of stuff whenever a client (or me myself)
cannot wait for a company to implement it...
(And this kind of functionality is probably not high on Avids or Apples
agenda, as it is not hip, cool or good looking)

But for you, if you have to do entire disks with continuous TC, your option
is workable enough i would think.
