I've done shows 3 yeara ago where they used avchd to P2 main concepts free encoder to get the avchd to P2 to Avid. I too am confused about taking P2 to avchd to edit in Avid?

Since the promotion department's ISIS needs to use that news media on a regular basis, they are suggesting that we always use AVCHD so that we don't have both codecs on the same workspaces. I would prefer to use DNxHD on non-news promos, but if that's going to be a problem, then we'll just have to stick with AVCHD, because I don't think I can convince the news department to use DNxHD of any flavor.
