First of all, ***n3rd alert***. This post is technical and jargony - so unless you care about video codecs, video editing, storage, etc, you probably don't want to read this :) But if you know anyone who knows about these things, please pass this on!

I'm facing some technical challenges attempting to shoot a documentary (potentially hundreds of hours of footage) on a camera using the AVCHD codec. The primary issues are storage space and coming up with a decent workflow to handle footage in Final Cut Express 4.2. I've got some thoughts on the matter, but really could use some advice!
