thanks for the great input!

[Ben Oliver]

you can’t reliably capture to a firewire drive? i’ve been using firewire drives for capturing and editing for a good 4 years or so, exclusively……i understand the onebus thing, but i’ve gotten that to work fine before.

thanks for the advice

i like fcp.

i miss the steenbeck,

all about the steenbeck!

[Ben Oliver]

i would do everything dv, and then get it converted to digibeta at a transfer house.

if its a documentary, and it’s good, then, when people with money see it, want to buy it and put it on television, then THEY can pay to have it onlined.

why pay for it, when someone else with more money can do it for you?

[Ben Oliver]

yeah., i reinstalled fcp and all is fine now.

very strange, but its seemed to do the trick,

thanks for hte response,

maybe you can get one of those cheesey radioshack converters or something?

time base correctors, least the one we had, cost at least, i think anyhow, like, 1500 dollars, and at that point, may be better to just get it transfered at a pro place.

hmm, i work at harvard university part time and we have what is known as a time base corrector……….that does the job for us, but its not cheap. …… thats right, hmmm…..

rent a pal deck?
