Perhaps it is a driver issue? Did you fully remove the old driver, before you replaced the card?

What I do is I send the timeline to an MPEG2 compression application. From there, I author a simple DVD. Granted your way is faster, but it is only faster if it works the first time.
Check out this low-cost encoder:

If you combine this with something like ReelDVD or DVDit, you can create a simple DVD, very quickly, and your skipping troubles should go away. So long as you keep the bit-rates reasonable. Say around 7.5 Mb.

1:1 ingest requires a Mojo on Xpress Pro.

I am on version 5.2.4 with a Mojo and it is 4 for now. There is a new release, v5.5 coming in about 8 weeks give or take. I didn’t see a single mention of this in any press release, but 9 would make sense as a 3 x 3 grid, rather than a 2 x 2 grid. So if it is going to expand, I’d put my money on 9.

For the cover, it depends on the case used. The most common case out there is a standard 14mm Amaray type case. There are several others, such as a 7mm, and 10mm thin-pack from Nexpack. NexPack makes the standard 14mm black Amaray case you most likely see. There are also Double-Alpha and even triple-Alpha.
So for the standard Amaray, 14mm, which is what most Heino type automation would run, it would be the following:

Actually Oak, take a look at the press release for Mojo SDI. It says it does all the same analog as the existing Mojo. Likely an adapter of some kind.

Avid new Studio Toolkit is said to be able to author Blu-Ray. No details beyond just that at this time.

Oak,
I agree on all the issues. It looks as if we got much of what we asked for, but not as an update for existing Xpress Pro users. Instead as a paid upgrade to MC 2.5. Which I can do if the value is there. I already own an existing Mojo, and I could buy another for SDI, but for $2,500 it should come with both. New customers will likely not care too much I think. They will likely use either BetaSP or some consumer grade something, or DigiBeta. I guess and either or won’t be too bad for most. I don’t so much care if I have to buy a new Mojo and just own two of them.
Call me a nut, but I even go for the new MC with Mojo SDI as a second cutting station depending on the formats, since XPRO could likely edit whatever Mojo SDI ingests.
I think both you, and I, and Jeron on the Avid forum have been hot for ProTools integration. I don’t hear anything about that.
Videoguys had a sale on the toolkit last week for just $499, and it shocked me so much I knew a new version would be out. I’d like to review the Blu-Ray and 16:9 formats they say Avid DVD handles. No mention as to which Sonic product Avid DVD is now based on since DVDit 6 in its current form doesn’t handle 16:9 for menus, or support Blu-Ray.
No mention of ProTools integration, which is a huge issue with me. It’s like the most important thing for me at this time.
Did anyone say if MC2.5 with Mojo SDI was 8 bit or 10 bit for SD?
Are there any details on AXP 5.5 at this time?
Thanks,
Alex

Interesting. My Dual XEON does have two PCIe slots in it. I wonder how viable that would be.
