Response to I bet nobody can answer this XL 1 question!!!

Hey,

Casablanca is fine, but it is a closed system, for the money, you'd be better off with a Media 100 or Apple/FCP set up...hope it is not too late. As far as going from digital to analog and back again, that is probably the worst thing you could do to your picture quality. If you shoot in digital, stay there all the way until you get to dub off the master....this and only this will insure you best quality. I don't know the technical explanation but going from digital to analog and back again or some hybrid of such looks like crap... For the microphone, as said before Seinheiser 416 with mixer (Shure FP-32a or 33) but that set up with breakaway cable will set you back a couple grand minimum (with mic support, etc). I would go with the Seinheiser ME-66 for camera shotgun and a wireless lav (UHF or VHF if you can't afford it) for close up interviews, dialogue, etc. Just make sure the microphones can go into the balanced inputs of the MA100.... good luck, and call up that salesman and complain,,,
