MovieRecorder 2.0.1 fixes some important issues such as some movie files not being closed properly, but it also brings a few new features such as Offset TC for Batch Captures, or the support for XDCAM EX.

The XDCAM EX codec is very nice as it has a very low Data Rate. Be aware though that due to the Edit-while-Ingest capability, the data rate of the file will not be 35Mb/sec as it usually is, but rather around 50Mb/sec. Also, this is a very CPU intensive codec, and thus we do not recommend doing DUAL ingest with any current MacPro, and Single ingest can only be done in a recent MacPro with sufficient Memory. But of course you are free to test it with the DEMO version. If you experience any Drop frame issue, you can try lowering the preview quality and frame rate.
