Is there any reason i couldn't shoot a single continuous take of approx 100mins (shooting 4k, 2:1, 25fps, redcode 36 - approx 170gb) to the Red hard drive?

as long as you got enough battery you should be fine.
Might have to worry about overheating.
Did a 50 min. straight interview in the south of france this summer and it almost shut down on me.

What about working with a take this long in FCP and the various RED and 3rd party apps?

Stephen we regularly shoot up to 100mins 4k 25fps RC36 16:9 (with 2 cameras) without any problems (we need to use the Switronix dual battery mount so we have enough battery life). Haven't had a crash/power out yet, but if it occurs I understand the footage will still be OK, up to about the last 2 mins, as the R3Ds segment into 2GB (about 2mins) "mini" files. We make copies asap!
Sam: no probs in FCP--we multiclip edit using the _M proxies. Have rendered and sent to Color, which was a pain before the update--haven't done a 100+min (fcp-->color) edit with the upgrade yet tho'.

How do you go from fcp to color?

Once we've finished cutting in fcp, highlight the sequence and click "send to color". Voila. See http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22667&page=1

I would rarely if ever shoot 100 minutes in one take but I regularly do 30 minute non stop interviews. I often wondered if these long files would present a problem in either recording on the camera or in post.

Two weeks ago we ran four RED cameras for 150 minutes in one take - no problems.

Excellent thanks guys.

Agreed, there should be no problems with this.
Just make sure that you give the camera enough time to complete the QuickTime reference movies after such a long take though.
If you unmount the media too quickly, the QT reference files won't be there and if you need those in post you will have to re-generate them using RED Alert!
