The camera doese MPEG2.

I'm wondering if Edius can play the mp4 files directly or do you need to convert them to mxf files using the supplied Sony software for doing this.

I'd prefer to convert to HQ - much smoother edit experience.

Maybe the most interesting camera in 2007 is expected to hit the streets in November (in Europe, the price will be only EUR 6.500,- plus tax!):

Will Edius support this format? The spec sheet says the the camera records MPEG-2 Long GOP. So this sounds kind of ordinary.
