As far as I am aware no P2 device currently available or planned supports putting anything other than DVCPRO 25/50/100 on the card, although the hi-def DVCPRO "100" will not actually be 100 in this circumstance if you're shooting with an HVX at something other than 60fps.

Once you have mounted the card with the correct drivers there's nothing stopping you from using it as a big, fast, expensive flash card, though.

Should we talk about the specific P2 MXF implementation here? It's a bit, uh, idiosyncratic, to say the least. That sort of discussion would take it outside the realm of simply the storage media, but I think P2 would be better described as a system rather than separately as a storage medium and software.

Shouldn't this page be moved to "P2" or something? As far as I know, you can save video standards other than DVCPRO on that card, and the official name is "P2", not "DVCPRO P2", right? Peter S. 17:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree Dan aka jack 14:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, what's the correct article title?
  • P2 (storage)
  • P2 (storage media)
  • P2 (Solid-state computer storage media)
I'd prefer version 2 - any comments? Peter S. 17:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
