Whatever the preferred codec I'd do the video mixdown to it in avid. That way you can see what you've done on a proper screen / scope.
Xdcam50hd is better than the lower Dnx IMO, but avcintra100 also supposed to be good.
Noticed yesterday that V6.5 offers prores mxf as mixdown option too... Not sure if that was there before.

> Now in the past I've been able to deliver 1:1 Avid media when the network wanted 2:1. I'm wondering if they will accept DNX 220x which is what we've done the show in. That will be up to them. My preference would be to make a dnx 220x Ref QT and use QTPro to make an .mov for delivery. If the network won't take the dnx 220x file I'm curious what would be my next best choice quality wise. I know I can make a reasonable prores file with a QT ref out of Avid without a major gamma shift. I usually see a slight quadrature error but overall top and bottom levels are good. So would I be better off making a transcode of the hour show to DNX 145 or export an XDCAM 422 or the ProRes? My gut likes to stay with Avid media just because I haven't had any gamma issues etc... kinda like delivering a tape, which we have to do too. Wondering what others think. Am I a Luddite to want to stay in some form of Avid media?
