I hate working on single screens. Even the 30″ screens. I’m much happier with 2 displays, it lets me organize my workspace to better suit my own habits.
Pallets & accessory windows go on one display, the actual work area goes on the other.
Also, utility apps, like email, calculator, ftp, etc, can go on the 2nd display.

In Soundtrack you can stretch (or in your case compress) the audio to fit the runtime without shifting its pitch. In FCP you can only do this by shifting its pitch.

[Jermaine Cameron] “but when I log the mini DV preview in FCP these jagged lines appear.”
How does it look on your NTSC (or PAL) monitor? Don’t look at FCP. Turn the computer monitor to the wall. Only look at your NTSC (or PAL) monitor. FCP does not display video at full quality on your computer monitor. Nor does it display interlaced video on your computer monitor. This is why the FCP manual has several pages showing you how to hook up an NTSC (or PAL) monitor.

You also need to set the composite mode on the top clip to “Track matte Luma”.

The Atto Express SAS, the Areca 1600 series and the CalDigit all offer RAID 5 protection. They all use an infiniband or SAS connector, not an eSATA connector- if your enclosure uses an eSATA connector, these cards are not compatable. Any of these 3 will be a good solution for you if your enclosure uses an infiniband or SAS connection.

Is your mac PCIe or PCI-X? For PCIe, you can use an Atto or Areca card. If it’s PCI-X, get an Areca. Stay away from High Point.

[Shane Ross] “For about $15,000.”
Which is very cheap for shared storage.

[Michael Gissing] “Bars & tone on camera tape are relics of analog. In the digital age, they are of little use.”
Very true. Still, it’s a tradition. And it does get your first frame of action away from the head of the tape!

Apple gives you the same 1 year warranty with the same Apple Care options on refurbs that they give you on new systems. If you’re buying a refurbed mac, make sure that it’s a factory refurb with the factory warranty.
BTW, Apple also sells refurbs themselves through the online store at https://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE3NjY

Run Disk Warrior on the RAID. You may simply have to rebuild the directory. If so, DW will fix it.
Also, what controller card do you use? Do you have the current driver/firmware for it?
