[Avid-L2] Re: OT: Flip Video Cameras

This suggestion may be too little and too late -- but I have an AJA HA5 which converts HDMI to HD-SDI. If you want, you could send me the Flip, I could capture the video to whatever DNxHD you needed -- and send it all back to you (or FTP the media files to you in advance). Only probably makes sense if quality is a big issue.
