[BazinoZ] “I was actually refering to the OMF project export”
To be able to use the format you have to licence it. Digidesign/ProTools is owned by Avid. like Craig mentioned AAF is supposed to be the A/V universal format which will is supposed to have OMF as a subset.

OMF is a Avid construct, there maybe licencing issues.

[Gary from Texas] “Still not sure why the older Sony camera worked”
Different brands use firewire differently, thats why the brand and individual device control settings, best not to have two DV devices connected at the same time -
What device settings did you try? try the “Standard” setting if that doesn’t work try each of the alternates, also make sure you have DirectX 9c loaded.

What is your video capture card? And what format are you capturing to?

[GinsuAce] “The esata drives had issues causing the computers not to boot correctly. We ended up trying it on three separate systems. When I got it to boot correctly after shooting options all the way up to tier 3 support and trying exchanged drives it would cause issues with peripheral items not working such as DVD Burners etc and twice the computers needed to be reformatted but could not be recovered because they got locked up. Two brand new HP XW8400 workstations were shipped back before the drives were isolated as the problem.”
This is personal experience, I wanted to know if it was a general occurance with other people, if you were having problems with HP I can see it, Here is my experience with eSATA, I use 500gig Maxtor SATA II with KingWin eSATA enclosures, My desktops both have 4 SATA ports, I use two for onboard SATA drives and the other two I use a SATA to eSATA adapter bracket($7) so I can plug eSATA drives into the onBoard SATA ports, on a HP MCE laptop I have a Express Card eSATA adapter with two ports, I hot swap drives between all three machines with no problems I can use the Laptop for HDV/DV capture while using the other machines for processing, none of the eSATA are used for booting, the desktops are generic DIYs, the laptop I had to run a couple of de-crapifier programs to clear out the HP crapola to get it to work right, once I got rid of the HP stuff and pared down the Media Center junk everything hums along fine. The OS sata drive on the laptop only gets 30MB/s, the second onboard SATA drive get 45MB/s, the express card eSATA drives are all 70MB/s average.

[GinsuAce] “The esatas kept having compatibility and durability issues”
Do you know what specific problems eSATAs have? or where some info is listed?

Under the Monitor windows is a setting dropdown either “Fit” or a percentage, what is it set to? have you changed the size of the monitor windows? Video(DV, low res 720×480) shown on a computer monitor window at other than its Native resolution doesn’t look as good as on a external video monitor, plus being interlace video shown on a non interlaced device tends to look a bit crapier

Are you talking about a single drive laptop or one that can hold a second drive?
