Steve,
where you say AVCHD you mean AVC-Intra. Believe me you do.

Supposedly many AMerican TV stations using P2 cameras are doing this. I think there's even some Avid box that makes it faster to ingest.

It's definitely the crappy long-gop codec. So that's my real question. If news works in AVCHD, can I work in DNxHD on the same workspaces and not have issues.

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.
