Duh! Sometimes having this great resource in Creative Cow makes you stop thinking for yourself: why don’t I just try it out for myself?!!

FWIW: PAL and NTSC can be recorded on the same SxS card (at least with the EX3).

By the way, I own the EX3 and have shot a few projects with it already – fantastic!

If you have a VERRENTS in your area, you might try them. They have a rep in Chicago who was willing to do this. They transfer their equipment back and forth between offices though, so they may ask you to cover the cost of shipping.

October 19, 2008 at 7:13 pm in reply to: SD 16:9 – What am I doing wrong?

Thanks to all who responded!

To avoid “the squeeze,” here’s what has ended up working for me.

1. I edit a 16:9 Anamorphic SD sequence (Uncompressed 8-bit)
2. Output a reference movie of the sequence
3. Import the reference movie into DVDSP & Author (Everything in DVDSP set to 16:9 of course).

Results: a DVD that plays back letterboxed on a 4:3 set or full 16:9 on an LCD.

The compression quality, to my eye, looks just as good doing it from DVDSP as from Compressor.

Thanks!

Bob

Upon further testing… I think there may be something wrong in my Compressor settings (but I don’t know why. I say this because when I bring a FCP exported movie into DVDSP directly, it is the proper 16:9 format.

James,

For what it’s worth, DVCPRO HD footage (on an eSATA drive) plays out great from my MacBook Pro thru the MXO to an Apple 23″ display. I have not tried it with CS3.

Perhaps the MXO doesn’t like your graphics card?

August 4, 2008 at 3:16 pm in reply to: Help please – HVX200 settings for firewire out recording

Amen brother. I agree.

I do appreciate, though, anyone who takes the time to respond.

Despite the reply not being very helpful, it did at least tell me that the firewire SHOULD work since it’s working for the other guy.

I hope you found the help you needed.

May 20, 2008 at 3:35 pm in reply to: Live capturing HD footage from HVX to FCP

I use it for monitoring HD on a 23″ Apple display while editing on my MacBook Pro. I use two LaCie eSATA drives attached to the MBP via an Expresscard adapter. It works great.

I really have not had the need to use the MXO in any other way yet, but am aware of its functionality as a downconverter. I’ll give it a try.

Thanks again.

Bob

Great idea. Since I do have an MXO, that sounds like a winner. I’ll test it out.

Thanks!

Nate,

When outputting HD over firewire to MacBook Pro (fcp), can you also record SD to miniDV at the same time?

Thanks.
