This is absolutely an unacceptable way to edit. Not everything that needs audio at very specific times in the timeline is gonna be something like a music video.
You may not know you need a specific audio track at a very specific place when you start your edit.
Lets say your editing a promo for network TV. You start your edit for a couple days, then they pass you 2 different 10 second pieces of music. One needs to start at 5 seconds in and the other needs to start at 20 seconds in and end exactly on 30 seconds.
How exactly do you edit the video afterwords without constantly altering where your audio is falling?
Guess what, you can’t. Still think magnetic timeline is cool? Some editors actually know where they want the audio to fall without Apple “protecting” us from ourselves.

Humm, thats a good idea. Also, is there a nice enclosure to put 4 of these drives in an external SATA box? And will that give me uncompressed bandwith ?

I had heard of the 2 gig limit before, but this system was set up by Promax, so apparantly they didnt. I just assumed when they were going to be able to put 5 gigs in, that they knew what they were doing. Also, if you called AJA as of yesterday morning, they said there was no longer a 2 gig limit. So regardless of previous posts, there is some conflicting stories with what is actually the case. I am here to tell you, it hasnt been totally worked out yet.

were you able to pull out all the ram and see if that helped? It definitely did here.

I will almost guarantee that going down to 2 gigs or less will clear your dropped frame issue. As far as the data rates from you RAID, that I am not sure, but give it a try. It fixed my issue here. According to AJA, that was a known issue, that was fixed, but apparantly not completely.

Just for the hell of it, go down to 1 gig, see what happens. (holy @$%#, 16 gigs. I thought 5 was a lot)

WHat happens to your machine when you do ?
-
I would like to add that according to AJA, the latest drivers (3.2) and the apple firmware update should have fixed this issue, but apparantly it hasn’t.

How many gigs of ram installed in your Mac pro? My issue seems to be Ram related. (People are saying Apple is still having issues with Mac Pros over 2 gigs of ram with 3rd party cards.)

Thanks, you read my mind. I pulled the second riser out with the extra 4 gigs of ram, and with 1 gig, all seems to be good so far.
I am going to try to ad another gig back in, and see how that goes.
Thanks for your continued help and suggestions. I really hope this is the solution. I will post updates as I get them to keep all new users up to date on the situation.
