For those of you thinking that if they implement this it will eliminate some of the waiting and lines…

I see the AVC market as being quite different indeed

XDCAM and P2 cards are the only things that come closeâ€¦ and I see the AVC market as being quite different indeed.

18 and 35mbit support for XDCAM HD, but at least it has 24p support.

See, my problem with HDV is that there’s too much compression. So I’m not exactly thrilled with AVC in general, much less as a replacement for a mid-level pro codec that we don’t even have yet.

oops unfinished thoughts - 18 and 35mbit support for XDCAM HD, but at least it has 24p support.

Fall 2007 at earliest for native NLE support in the big three. Adobe may jump on it early at NAB 2007.

I’d say it takes time - even if they do roll out new cameras for pros, takeup will be slow until the NLEs get native support with FirWire/USB 2.0/Ethernet/something common support (FireWire likely since it is already the “video spigot” for so many native codec editing workflows - DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD, HDV, etc.)

So AVC will be the odd man out, the coulda-shoulda, until native codec support hits, and hits on all cylinders. Note how we’re still hamstrung for 24p support in HDV from Canon and JVC, and don’t have 18 or 35mbit support as yet (but at least 24p is!).

I predict that would be fall 2007 at the earliest. Note Apple and FCP aren’t even on the early adopter list. Adobe is, is Avid?
