Try calling NexPak and ask if they do a custom job.

They might also be able to tell you who else might have that type of case.

I’d have to agree with you. I have seen many times, a video by some post guys showing off some effect they have made. I am always impressed with what I see others doing wtih RED. But it is as you say.
I just bought several lessons. If they have advanced effects like that, I’ll let you know.

Go back to the Device Manager, and remove the software driver for the sound card, then reboot. Windows should re-discover the sound card all over again, and give you a pretty clean state from which to return back to normal operation.

You wrote that the Tosh notebook meets the Avid spec. Where are you getting that information from? I don’t know if a single Tosh notebook on the Avid approved hardware list.
What are the specs on that notebook?

Hi Mark,
I am not implying anything about the quality of Creative Cow. Nor do I believe my thought would take traffic away from Cow. In my experience, the two types of communities have always held very different user-bases. You may have been with Cow since day one, but few people support the Cow as vigorously as I do. I don’t write one page reviews for Cow. I write, and continue to write articles as large as multiple chapters for Cow. In this very thread, I am considering yet another article. So please, don’t jump the gun on what I have suggested. I realize it looks odd in the forum, and does in fact come off the way you are supposing it does, but I assure you, it is not intended that way.
If you look at the context of the thread, you see why I wrote about a List. What people are saying about the Boris community is that there isn’t much of it. The Boris forum on the BorisFX site for example leaves much to be desired. And unlike Final Cut Pro, there isn’t a lot of competing forums on the various popular support sites. I won’t mention all their names, but we both know whom I write about.
So when it was mentioned that not a lot of support is out there, and an upload area for users would be a good thing, that sounded like what the typical List provides for FCP and Avid. So the idea of List popped into my head. Not to take away from Cow at all. I wasn’t even thinking in those terms. I was more reflecting on the various kinds of communities that exist for more popular applications, and the

Well,

I use a PCI-X Highpoint Rocket Raid controller, which has (at this time) 4x250GB SATAII drives attached. This is configured as RAID 0 stripe. Now Avid says when using OMFI to partition larger volumes such as this into smaller 200 – 250 GB partitions so that fewer files needed to be tracked in the OMFI database. After 10,000, the database can get a little lost.
Using this technique, I have benchmarked the first partition at over 200 MB/sec in write performance, and about the same in read performance. The last of these partitions benchmarks at about 170 MB/sec.
In any case, I can capture 1:1 without a problem on these partitions. Playback is perfect as well. One of the issues to look for is how well you have defined the system in terms of keeping the drive array on a separate PCI bus from the Mojo. If they are not separate, you’ll choke the system on ingest, and it will simply not be able to pull the data fast enough.
Try benchmarking you volumes as well. When I first built my array, I could not capture 1:1, and in fact, even simple DV had a problem. Turned out that my driver caused a strange problem where nothing on the volume could read or write faster than about 3 MB/sec, which even single drives can achieve in their sleep. Once that was resolved, the array could do over 200MB/sec.
So is the BUS a separate BUS from the Mojo?
Is the driver for the RAID card up to date?
Have you benchmarked the array to see if it is even capable of the speed you need?
Those are the things you need to know.

There are a lot of ways to gain the basics, and almost no one ever does advanced topics. So I’d be very interested to watch it.
