Hi, everyone. I just backed up a big project to the NTFS drive and then tried to open it. When I went to set scratch disks most of the directories were grayed out (including the one I copied from the original drive.
Also when I look in the autosave valt for the backup Mac OS does not know the files are FCP projects, in finder it says they are simply of type ‘Document’.

Thanks for that. I just got https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320895315434?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3210wt_1397 which I think is a port replicator with 2 channels but I was only planing on using it with 2 drives.

Thanks a lot for that, I thought that was the case. I put a couple of 7200 Barracudas is a SATA II RAID0 enclosure and got around 180MS/s out of them. I was wondering if there was any point in looking for SATA III RAID0 enclosures, answer seems ot be no.
Also I only have a standard PCI, Not PCI-E slot left in my MB and wanted to add a SATA card. Seems getting a SATA II standard PCI card is almost imposable.

In FCP7 you can mark in/out points in Log and Transfer and change the clips names then do the whole card as a ‘batch’. Not sure if you can create 2 clips/sub-clip from a single bit of card media using Log and Transfer.

OK, you need to elaborate on what you mean by
Is there any way to ‘batch capture’ from a Z7 Video Recording Unit (rather than tape)

OK, I think you need to give more detail. What recording unit are you use/what are you recording onto and in what format. If you are shooting to cards/disk you would not use the camera to ingest/transfer footage. Give as much detail as impossible, the more you give the easier it is for people to help.
Batch Capture refers to first logging the tapes then capturing all the logged clips. Some people call capturing a whole tape Batch Capture. IMHO You can only Batch Capture from tape.

Do you mean batch capture or record from the camera straight to hard disk. If the latter have you tried putting the Z7 in camera mode, connecting firewire and trying to do a capture through FCP.

[Dennis] I might be the Adobe guy and for clarity sake, I’m speaking of DNxHD in a QT wrapper is a 32-bit process. Currently, Premiere Pro does not natively support Avid MXF files (DNxHD in an MXF wrapper).
Indeed it was;). I afraid that confused me rather than cleared things up;). Are you saying DNxHD is supported with MOV but not with MXF?Also as I have you here is the ‘upscaleing’ that is done with native DSLR to allow it to be handled as 10 bit (I think that is what I read) done with other 8 bit formats.

OK, had a quick look at 5DtoRGB and cant work out how it is different to mPEG Streamclip apart from its rather dubious claim to ‘extracts every last drop of video quality from cameras’. How is it better than MPEG Streamclip, I assume it has the same parelel processing option (On my box doing 4 at once speeds whole thing up.
It also only seems to encode to Quicktime wrapped (32 bit in PP codecs). Would it not be better to go to XDCAM, although I guess you would have to use AME for that (haven’t looked for parallel options in it yet.
