Hi again, I need the actual video/audio, i.e. I need to get each frame in DV, and each audio sample in 48kHz 16-bit format. The original media files will be stored in the mac, and only the edited, ready-to-broadcast clips are required to be present in the server, so EDL is not to our use. Our device supports only DV-25, so mpeg / IMX is not considered for now. As far as I can understand, I need to write some component in quicktime (which will take video frames, pack them together in the custom media-file format, and send it to our server with ftp ), and then tell Final Cut to render to this one (format?/component?). As the original clips will always be in dv25 format, I hope it is possible to get frames in compressed format (so that recompression is not required). In the Quicktime documentation I found an entry http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/REF/refDataExchange.e .htm I think this might be it. Thanks all for your kind help.
