So, migrating the software from a single processor to a dual core system (with bigger, faster cache) makes the app run faster? How surprising! One of the bigger factors that led to the switch from IBM to Intel was based on getting faster CPUs for the laptops.

Open up the Disk Utility program & open up the Help file under the Help menu.

Apple backs its refurbs with the same warranty & tech support as its new products. My own experience in retail is that many (though certainly not all) refurbs are demo units that may have been dragged around to a few trade shows or similar venues. These are cleaned up & repaired for whatever wear & tear they suffered on the road, & then offered at discount.

[Dean Sensui] “It’s also easier to reference and find things through the PDF file than the printed manual.”
It’s kind of awkward to try to read the PDF on the subway during your commute. 😉

I’ve output DV timelines to Beta via an Aja Io without having to scale the video. If you select the right preset when you’re laying off to tape, it should just work.

Call Apple. There should be a tech support phone number somewhere amongst all the packaging you received, if not, their website is apple.com.

Bret’s right. Using ‘Save As’ to create a new project every day will create extra folders for Capture Scratch & renders that will make media management a nightmare with large projects that take a long time.
Instead of making duplicate files, why not just make duplicate timelines? Duplicate your TL every morning & give it a new date. Now all of your renders & media will be in the proper places & easy to find, but you still have a daily record of cuts to refer back to.

First thing you should know: clicking is very baaad. It’s probably the sound of a read/write head banging against a platter & scratching it beyond use. IOW, that drive has had a hardware failure & cannot be recovered.
Second thing you should know: LaCie’s Big Disk series is RAID 0, which is striped to make 2 or more drives into a larger, single volume. there’s no redundancy, and if one drive out of the set fails, you’ve lost all data on the set. These drives may be a little bit sensitive to movement while they’re powered up. The same thing happened to a friend of mine after he accidentally tipped one over while it was powered up.

[debe] “Seagate just bought Maxtor.”
?!? That’s interesting! I’ve always liked Seagate. Perhaps this will be a good thing!

AE doesn’t always give you RT preview to your broadcast monitor or your desktop, either. Perhaps that’s just a “hobby”, as well?
