Thank you again to all who took the time to help.
I transferred everything to a Lacie D2 drive with Firewire 800. The timeline seems MUCH more responsive when jumping through it… no doubt about it.
I bought the Seagates for archiving purposes, just didn’t know the USB2 had such limitations.

Thank Walter.
Since the laptop only has one firewire 400 port, that’s where I hook up my deck. The Seagate has both firewire 400 and USB2. Since USB2 is 480Mb/sec, isn’t it faster than firewire400?

Yes, everything goes to the Capture Scratch folder… the real question though is where is your capture scratch folder located? It should NOT be your system hard drive… it should be on a separate drive for media only.

Received my 17″ MacBookPro two days ago… with the standard 5400 RPM HD. Seems to run very fast. No problems running Final Cut Pro. I’m using an external drive for storage though.
After loading Photoshop and the whole Final Cut Studio, I still have about 90 Gb remaining on my HD.

meeroo,
You may want to read through some of the posts on the Canon Camcorders forum on the Cow. Seems like there are some issues with playing back the footage.

I recently shot a concert with the Canon HL-X1 in HDV 1080i mode and downconverted using the camera to a 16:9 SD and edited in a DV timeline. The quality is fantastic! The quality is MUCH better than a concert I shot with a PD170. I’d say it might even be as good or better than shooting with a DSR570 (or other full-sized 2/3″ chip DVCAM).
Walter: Are you sure that the Canon HDV footage can only be played back using the Camera as a source? I think you may be referring to footage shot in the 24F mode… no? That is proprietary. I’m pretty sure that the 1080i footage is generic HDV fully playable with any HDV deck.
