Thanks John. I guess I'll have to tackle the R3D problem when it arises. I had no doubts that I'd need to configure RAID on this laptop, but I need to get going in the next few days on a project that's using P2 camera files (.mxf). Specifically:
AVCIntra100 (100Mbit/Sek) 1080i/25PN (1080 x 1920 = FullHD) 10bit Farbtiefe / 4:2:2
I don't mind transcoding for the edit, but I would like to know whether a maxed-out G75vx would be fine to perform the final render.
Of course, it would also be nice if I could edit without transcoding. I'd like to impress the director a little when he visits.
