Timothy,

Not sure on the Turner answer but frames can drop even for a wrapper such as 
QT or AVI.  Bottom line if the thruput isn't there it shows up as dropped 
frame/s no matter how they are coming off the disks. To the eye it's just a 
frame......

Now if you are seeing a random issue this is more likely due to a frame 
missing for numerous reasons and can also appear either in the QT/AVI as 
easily as it can in frame sequence (the frame sequence allows you to fix it 
easier). The drop frames could also have resulted from a bad ingest but I 
would think QC would pick that one right up.

If it's a thruput issue it's usually much nastier than a frame here or there.

In reality, info off the disks perform equal no matter if they are frames or 
files, given the company knows what they are doing.  I say this because we 
have been moving frames off disks for over 6 years with huge success and are 
amazed every time this comes up.

Cheers,
Ramona
