Thank your for your recommendation
I've already used AVID DNxHD 220, 145 and 45 QT on VidedoPad and had excellent results.
DNxHD45 looks like it will be a good one for our needs. The file size for 1 hr recording is manageable.
I am still in the learning/testing mode.
I did see a video put out by the University Hawaii film division. It had video from with DNxHD and H.264. During the video it was pointed that the DNxHD produced a better quality output compared to H264 and why.
It seems that H264 is a slim down version for those that are not able to use ProRes.
