So now we become Matrox develelopers? I certainly don't have a problem
with that...

In terms of cards using uncompresesed or lossless for
post-production we are currently doing it with Pinnacle Targa 3000
(uncompressed) and Matrox Digisuite (lossless), both with the
discontinued discreet edit software. It is easier to become a Matrox
developer rather than a Targa one. Both cards easily generate AVI
files.

I don't know their plans to support MXF but if someone will do it I
am sure they will be on the front line.

Hope this helps,
