Can the DR-HD100 play back HD files through its Firewire port?
Yes. The FS-100 will play back a file to the same firewire output format that it was encoded from. For example, an HD file that was recorded from a MPEG-2 transport stream input will be played back out in MPEG-2 transport stream format. A standard definition file that was recorded from a DV source, will be played back in DV format.
