The best way to archive SxS and anything else you want!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since I got my XDCAM F350 that shout on the XDCAM Professional Discs I have been in love with the format. Robust as hell. Never had any problems and feel like they are built to last forever.<\/p>\n<p>Then I got the EX1 and archiving ever since has been a pain in the backside. I have tried all sorts of solutions. But what I really wanted was to use my USB XDCAM drive the PDW-U1 and copy the files onto them and archive them that way. But it only became writable for the Mac earlier this year and everything needed transcoding which took forever.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been out for PCs for a little bit now but I have just received the new Mac firmware for the PDW-U1 that lets me write data to the pro discs via the U1. A great long term way to archive my footage. Not just from my EX1 and 3 but from my 5dmk2 and my GH1. Hell you can even stick your photos on there if you want!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[4829]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4831 lazyload\" title=\"Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc.jpg\" alt=\"Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc\" width=\"320\" height=\"295\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc.jpg 320w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc-300x276.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/295;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4831\" title=\"Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc.jpg\" alt=\"Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc\" width=\"320\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc.jpg 320w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Sony_PFD_23_Professional_Disc-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The firmware will be available on the Sony site and day now and I will install it tomorrow myself.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro Disc comes in two sizes, the 23gb version and the 50gb version.
