Sounds good - though the Windows version of MediaPro is still not available, and having seen a trial version I am keen to use this anyway. So I assume you just plug the S2 into the laptop's firewire socket, and MediaPro detects this automatically..? If so, this is the way I'll go, rather than buy Hyperlink. Is it really that easy?

Yes, well I use this already.

Certain areas of editorial still cling, almost exclusively, to big trannies, and it's not for me to annoy them by trying to cram digital files down their throats! I have had serious discussions on the subject with editors and art directors, in their offices, and they like trannies on the lightbox: they do not want digital, for the immediate future - though because it will inevitably happen, I want to shift towards this and prepare myself at the same time, via the halfway house of outputting files to film. According to Rod Wynne-Powell and Rob Wilkinson this works beautifully - trouble is, it seems a very expensive process, something like �20 - �30 a go, which for me makes it uneconomic... Back to the drawing board - but thanks for the advice, all.
Regards, Tony H
