Cool, thanks. I’d feel a lot better buying a brand new one, tho i’d imagine the refurbished would be fine. Just wondering what difference would the 256mb card have over the 128mb one? Say in FCP or Combustion? Not doing any fancy 3d work, mostly just editing and some motion graphics. Don’t use an external monitor with my personal, well not at the moment but I don’t need to budget for the possibility.

Ok I messed about with quicktime for a while and discovered that after exporting each sequence DV PAL Anamorphic from fcp, then open each export in Quick Time, open up the vidoe properties and changed the frame size to 1024×576 I now have 16:9 quicktimes.However, these exports seem identical in QT to the original captured rushes except when I import them back into fcp… the new files are reading as 1024×576 and if i uncheck the anamorphic box they fit fine into my sequence, in the info for the rushes the info is 720×576 with anamorphic checked. So i’m a bit worried, when the guy I have to give these to goes to burn them onto a dvd will the 1024 converted files look all stretched or what? I suppose I’m just asking if anyone has had much experience with all of this and could maybe cast some light and a tip or two? Head is wrecked with this.

Sorry about the double post. Ok I’ve been a few hours trying to figure this out by myself and had no luck and i have to have twelve tens minute clips for a client in the morning. The imported footage reads as 720×576 with the anamorphic box checked, my sequence is exactly the same and when i export this as the same, even when i customise and do these settings, I always get 4:3 when i open the exported file up in QT. However when i open the rushes in the capture scratch it comes up 16:9 in QT. What am I missing here? I’ve really tried every combination of export. Do I need to export 1024×576? Thast seems wrong to me because the format of the footage inside fcp reads as 720×576. Oh the joy of editing.
