I don’t think so. My attorney said it applies to all markets and we air in all top 25 markets… so if we have to do it for one station in one market it is done for all of them since it doesn’t cost any extra–the only cost is the first master.

But what drive system are you using?
Are you using FirmTek?
They released a special board and new enclosure to work only with the G5 which is now the only one recommended for the G5.
I have digitized video, 10-bit and 8 bit uncompressed fro decks to the hard drives using Firmtek and never lost a single frame!
If you are having problems with some other RAID system, then you should consider FirmTek?

I don’t disagree with you, BUT, I wasn’t talking about the computers. All I stated was that the FirmTek solution is the FASTEST data transfer rate that can be achieved for uncompressed for HARD DRIVE STORAGE. No other RAID system is faster, not even close. In addition, it costs $1,000 for 2,000 gigs of removable storage.
It works with BOTh G4’s and G5’s.

Hi,
That software is ONLY to create titles, NOT Closed Captioning!
I can write a program to add titles to any video in about 5 minutes!
I am talking about CLOSED CAPTIONING which are titles that do NOT appear on the screen.
Closed Captions ONLY appear if you turn on a reader to display them.

If anyone wants the code samples and references I have accummulated so far one coding lline 21 for closed captioning, just email me and I will email the links to you.
I am just tired of paying high prices for everything!
I don’t know if it is true, but somebody told me that the word “SONY” in Japanese stands for “Bend Over”?

I am not confusing Close-Captioning with subtitles.
The TV stations want Closed Captioning which is for deaf people and written to line 21.
All new TV sets have decoders which can read line 21 encoding and which can display that text on the screen if you choose to display it.
It is that hard to write to line 21… each non-linear editing system, Avid, Media 100, etc. starts at a different column but it is easy to read.
Take any all black quicktime file with closed captioning on it for the media 100 and open it in a BINARY editor. You can easily see where each frame begins and easily read the bytes for captioning.
What makes this tedious is that you need to translate the letters you want to write into the corresponding byte code, not for the letters, but for the retarded system some geek came up with–it would be trival if they had just used the bytes that correspond to the alphabet!
So I am slowly writing alibrary and then it should be simpel to write to line 21 starting at any colum that corresponds to a specific editing system.
I am thinking that I will give away the software for FREE because I don’t believe in overcharging people when it comes to the issue of handicaped people and Apple should take the lead and publish the code since they are claiming to be so concerned about the handicaped!

Hi,
FirmTek has one enclosure for the G5 that will work for you and nothing is fater or cheaper–I tested 20 systems!
Theire website is: https://www.firmtek.com/
Ask for Kim and tell her Bill SerGio sent you!
She is an engineer and knows everything about all the Media100 systems!

The fastest and cheapest drives are to buy a FirmTek enclosure and board for about $400. You can add four 500gig SATA-II drives to each bay and it is removable storage. The data transfer rate is the FASTEST RATE that can be obtained–it literally blows away every other system on the market–I tested them all… and the whole thing will cost you only $1,000 for 2,000 GIGS. Don’t buy those those over priced RAID systems because their data transfer rates can’t even come close to this sytem.

I have a G4 with a FirmTek enclosure that holds four 500 gig SATA-II drives all of which are removable. This sytem is the FASTEST data tranfer rate there is–it blows away Firewire 800. In fact I can write 4 streams of video to one drive without stripping the drive and it writes perfectly–never had a glitch. I have a 1.42g G4.
