i have never tried using the offline capture settings using the m100i codec in HD system, but that sounds dissapointing. i have always enjoyed the fact i could digitize hours and hours of very descent looking footage at 20kb, especially talking heads. i think part of the problem could be that the m100hd has no hardware compression support for m100i codec like it used to. doing it all in software can probably be pretty taxing on resources, especially if there is more involved in HDR processing. im no engineer and i could be totally wrong, but it seems like either it was overlooked or maybe just not possible to acheive the same consistency and reliability using software than our vincent or p6000 cards.

so is boris will be continuing technical support, will they also be doing the further r+d for all media 100 software as well? as far as m100 sw goes, or further releases of m100 HD , how does this make a difference?

media 100’s built in keyer is not very sophisticated at all, at least for now. id stay away from it. what i like doing now is exporting to after effects, getting a good clean key, then xporting back to media100 with an alpha channel, so u have full control of the and background you want.

simply put, you will have the least amount of picure loss and quality if you do firewire in and out. i use firewire in so i get the best picture quality possible when outputting to beta. and if there are any of you still digitizing analog video at 640×480, just stop. start all your programs at 720×486. this will allow you to mix your dv footage with analog video.
firewire is great, i just wouldnt use it as way of controlling my deck. if your deck has rs422 control, use that instead, but still use the DV port for video + audio.
if your need to control the gain from your audio on your dv tape, id digitize analog audio set at 48k, so you can set your levels properly if they are not good on the tape.
is there a way to disable 640×480 options in the hardware settings? i want to prevent people here from making those mistakes when trying to mix analog footage and DV footage.

when you say you reloaded everything on the machine, i hope you’re talking about the files were in you media folder created by media 100 after you imported them into your project. it won’t work if its just the original picture files. re-linking media from your bin will only match itself to the exact same quicktime files created by media 100.

yes, there is only one account on the machine and it is full admin access. i will try the permissions but my gut tells me its a font problem. there are a lot of fonts installed on that machine, but i wouldn’t know where to start. Font doctor has fixed and isolated the bad fonts, so i dont know what else to do.
btw how bout’ that 19 minute response time from floh! thats better than most 911 response times 🙂

They are interchangeable. They are not associated with the serial of the board. You might want to tell media 100 though, so they can enter it into their database. Selling one?

addressing the long-import problem:
how are you importing your clips? if you are doing a file-import, there is a checkbox that says: “import files to the media standard and compressor”. Do NOT have that box checked. It seems like instead of directly accesing your fcp files, it is re-encoding them using the 844x codec… that is totally unneccesary. FYI, even when it does a “instant” import, m100 still seperates the audio and video into individual accesible files. So, if you check your media folder, there will be 3 files for each clip: V, A1, A2 (if necessary).
Correct me if i’m wrong… i know for a fact i have done instant import with final cut DV footage in M100 HD, is there no support for realtime playback on SW?
Also, you cannot check and uncheck your audio and video tracks for your clips if you are trying to modify them from within the timeline. To do so, you must double click your source clip from a bin, mark your in and outs, select which tracks you want then drag from monitor window to your timeline, or just press f12 to place it where your CTI is parked.

we can only hope that optibase will team up with panasonic regarding DVCPRO HD and P2 systems. soon.
i hope dvcpro HD and p2 is a bigger priority to optibase than HDV is, which i could care less for.
c’mon and pray people.
