I've seen it mentioned in a few places that the codec used by the Zi8 will mean greater compatibility with Final Cut Express than the awful Flip codec. Anyone know? Would an owner be willing to upload a small video somewhere that was pulled from the Zi8 so I can test it?
Thanks.
Question about
Final Cut Compatibility?
Here is a video I just shot last week. www.youtube.com/user/goramsey
I love it. Edit was Final Cut Express. Works great. No problems.

I've never tried dragging and dropping a video from it straight into FCP because I'm on an old Macbook Pro that probably would drag its ass on H.264, but the files from it open up fine in MPEG Streamclip (free program), which converts them into basically any format FCP needs (I use Apple ProRes).
