Unless you are doing FX heavy scenes 444 uncompressed dual link is a waste and a bitch to deal with. If they need the highest quality then go SR 880 444. Other than special situations DnxHD is plenty good enough.
Post is going to love it when you walk in with SR 880 tapes....

> I was recently told by a Post Supervisor that he had always worked uncompressed on his shows. My experience primarily in Avid is everyone works in DNX in HD which is compressed but a strong codec. In FCP I thought Prores was the codec of choice kinda the DNX of the Final Cut world. For short pieces I can see how uncompressed would be viable. In SD I always do 1:1 uncompressed but never in HD for my hour long projects and series. Beside overall drive space doesn't uncompressed put a heavy tax on bandwidth even if the actual processing of the data is more efficient the amount of sheer data seems problematic on a large series scale. Curious what others think.
