The Fusion has two CF slots....the top one for MARF and the bottom one
for FAT 32.  If you want to burn to a DVD, you must use an external
DVD burner via firewire.  I would love to talk my clients into
accepting CF cards, but at $65 per 4GB CF card, they won't bite.

Steve,

You need to do a little web shopping. Name brand 4GB CF cards cost about
half that and you can find non-name brand stuff for even cheaper yet. Not
saying it's your perfect solution but there are a ton of deals out there on
CF.

I usually buy middle-of-the-road-priced media. I know I can get CF
cheaper, but in my experience, cheaper media sometimes results in more
errors when downloading. Also, $65 is what clients would see as
markup, not what I'd be buying them for. On long-term projects, I
have considered asking the client to buy say, 10 of them and rotate
them out after sync-up, but DVDs are a better long-term storage idea
for most producers.

I have watched and CF media is coming down in price. Soon, (within a
couple of years) it won't be cost prohibitive to archive on them.
