Re: [Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

Doing my best to recap what's possible with footage from a HPX170
going into an existing SD project on a (Mac) system running 3.1.3
Take with a grain of salt, this is my understanding, then what I
don't know.

XDcam would seem like the best flavor of HD to integrate with a SD
project but that is not on offer. The HPX170 my shooter uses
delivers P2 and AVCHD(yes?). Since a driect port doesn't seem
possible, I've read about people converting such footage with
Streamclip or Panasonic's MainConcept transcoder to bring it in.
(transcoding to exactly what I'm not sure). Transcoding to bring in
a shot is one thing but I need to bring in an hours worth and retain
original TC values to intercut with lo-rez SD in my Avid project.

Advise greatly appreciated,

Paul
