[Avid-L2] Re: 50mbps MPEG into a PDW-F70?

 

XDCAM HD 50Mb disks are formatted differently from 35/25/18Mb.

An XDCAM HD 50Mb MXF file can't be recorded to a disk that has 35Mb... on it and the other way around.

The Read/Write access of the F70 is also very slow and don't think you'll be happy with it. The U1 is significantly faster.
