wow.

[Bobby Mosaedi]

sounds like an interesting idea. i too am interested to see if anyone has sucessfully done so.

[Bobby Mosaedi]

YES!!!!! finally the DV / HDV support we’ve all been waiting for!!!!
oh wait.
never mind.
2 years later and still nothing. my guestimate is winter of ’09 we see the beta versions. hehehehe

i can so see the sw version coming out soon with DV/HDV support, but the HDX hardware wont. i can just see it.
and we HD users will probably have to pay for the upgrade too.

just poking fun. happy new years everybody

hmmm . interesting. are you using null modem adaptors? what brand cable are you using from SD-connect to the Media 100 HD? are all of these devices hooked up to the Media 100 HD?

[Bobby Mosaedi]

thanks floh, i also tried it out for myself on an imac G5 and deck control seems to work fine ( with only deck and keyspan connected). TC #’s don’t show up though, which i didnt expect to work flawlessly anyways. i even tried the DQ timecoder from media 100i… i get deck control but still no TC #’s. ive been on the phone with media 100 and convergent, and hopefully something can be resolved. im more hopeful of a firmware upgrade happening with convergent than m100 changing their software. apparently, im the only person with this box and any kind of media 100. ill keep everyone updated, if anybody is interested. i get to be the guinea pig for this little bump in the road.

no, it does not work fine when connected to DV, and i do have an extra cable. the problem is media 100. there is something its not liking / accepting. its a very expensive box. and it works beautifuly, even auto swtiches when i go back and forth between digitize and program mode in m100HD. the guys at convergent design are trying very hard to get their hands on a media100HD, but of course nobody has one. they are based out of colorado springs. is there anyone who has a Media100 HD in the colorado springs area? i suggested to them to download the media100sw demo, but i saw there is no option for timecodem100HD under device control. only firewire. why cant media100 just get with the program? FCP, AvidXpress, Vegas, Premiere Pro these all work flawlessly, and i was told there is no specific programming for each NLE, it just passes the 422 signal right thru.

[Bobby Mosaedi]

yeah i suppose that i could do that, but obviously at the expense of high data rates for already very compressed video. if anyone has another program that they know works for directly exporting MPEG2 to quicktime, i would like to know.

[Bobby Mosaedi]

you may be talking about the HD connect or the HD connect LE… the SD connect does not support HDV, as far as i know. i still will be needing a solution for HDV to Media100HD, i may end up having to buy both.

[Bobby Mosaedi]

hmm… thats odd.

i have a first generation 1GHZ titanium with 1GB of ram, running media100sw media off the internal drive and even a title or two, using 10.4.2 tiger. ran fine till the demo expired several weeks ago, now i cannot download it anymore. what quality were you running your clips at? majority of my stuff was at 150kb … you may have been using a higher quality. try reducing it and see if it still doesnt work. if you still have problems, use a program like cocktail to try and clean up your os, it helped for me.
