Finally the production pipeline for FCP to Premiere , MAc to PC finally got a lot easier. 
One can Capture and Rough edit using the Apple Pro Res 422 and then save it in this format. One can finally make Apple Pro Res your one archiving and mastering codec without worrying about compatibility with the PC.
 
From their web site
Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder software allows both Mac and Windows users to play Apple ProRes files through QuickTime. Apple ProRes is a visually lossless format that provides uncompressed HD quality at SD data rates.
It is an excellent choice for mastering and can easily be transcoded to distribution formats like H.264. With new support for playback on both Mac and Windows computers, Apple ProRes can also be used for review and approval of Final Cut Studio sequences.
