Re: [Avid-L2] HDCAM Decks, Avid and Closed Captioning

That was extremely helpful information. Thanks! Turned up more good info
in the Knowledge Base, too.

I've been let down by the Knowledge Base so often, that I don't even
check it anymore... simply Google. This time, Google didn't turn up what
I was trying to find.

Kind of a shock to find out you lose the CC data in HD if you do any
kind of editing; going to have to re-think our workflow.
