Hi,
I was getting massive amounts of green blocking in waves across the screen but I was so desperate I had to bite the bullet and get a intel mac! it all nows works fine with toast 10 (apart from the audio synch issue).

I think the disc image just hadn’t copied correctly for some reason, but I was using Toast 9 and osx 10.4.9 which probably didn’t help in some way.

Thanks for the help though.

Also I was wondering as the GH1 shoots at (pal) 25p but in a 50i wrapper do i have to account for this in encode settings? do I set as interlaced or progressive?

thanks again.

Yes thanks,
that is what I’ve been doing. Even if I add direct from the camera to toast I still get green blocking (although it plays fine on the camera).
So I am just guessing the backup is fine but the encode or dual power pc g5 is the problem….who knows, just my WHOLE project depends on it! I’ve searched everywhere and it seems no one else is getting this problem..

thanks for the response.
To be honest I can live with painful speeds and audio out of synch. I could also live with green blocks appearing on DV encodes as I edit offline but I cannot live with not being sure that I have the footage properly backed up before deleting from the card (to use again).

I am using a GH1 and have read I should create a disk image as backup….UURGH what am I meant to do? I have to carry on filming on Tuesday…another £70 on a SD card..

but I am trying to use toast 10 on a non-intel mac it adds loads of artifacts to my footage whether I’m going to prores or even DVPal. Any ideas? I’m using disk images of the whole camera, clicking to mount the image and choosing the ‘private’ folder…am I doing something wrong.. Please help as I having to now format the cards again and am scared sensless that I am going to be losing good footage…
