This seems to be the answer to many of these kind of problems.
Worth a shot.

[Ruby Gold] “I use a Sony clamshell (GV-D1000) firewired to my PC to do all my capture so as to avoid wear and tear on my camera. If I switch tape brands–do you think that wd cause problems on the clamshell (similar to switching tape brands in your camera?).”
So do I. The deck works fine with whichever tape I put in it (Fuji is the only exception… and not ALL Fujis give me a problem every time).
That “changing brands” worry is far from a GIVEN.
It has been repeated “advice” for so long that it has become a video “legend”.You can choose to observe it or not.
There’re plenty of folks who swear its a FACT and simply will NOT interchange brands… and others who pay no attention to it and use whatever.I use Panasonic and Sony, back and forth all the time, in all my DV gear in several locations. And I don’t ever have a problem.

[jmf] “Although I understand that microwave uplinks are analog, I am trying to preserve quality by avoiding any other linear conversions.”
If you put these on HD, how is the uplink site going to get it to analog to xmit?

Sorry, but you should have used the Timecode READER (not generator).
Its another choice in the settings on the TC print filter.It would have shown the TC from the original footage.
The way most of these things are done is to dub the ORIGINAL TAPES to VHS with the characters (TC, etc.) switched “on” of the deck or camcorder that was dubbing to VHS.
This would show the clients EVERYTHING (they usually ASK if there was “another take that was better”.

From FCP 5:
Export > XML…
Import that into FCP 4.5

Unlike in earlier times, under the current “rein of Steve Jobs”, Macs and PCs now use the same kind of monitor connections.

[Les Kaye] “could it have been something like my playback settings (Safe RT, etc)?”
That only effects the Real Time (RT) image when the timeline is PLAYING.
When stopped, all levels of effects will appear properly in the frame where you’re sitting.Then, if you RENDER all effects (to High Quality), you will see everything in full quality playback on the external monitor (as well as a lower-quality image of all effects in the Canvas).

[David Rowan] “One thing thats messed me up; if I do a “Render All” and there is something outside of my view on the timeline that has to get rendered before the bit I’m working on. So I’ll quit the 11 minute render after a minute or two and “Hey, You didn’t do anything!”…then its “Oh wait…thats what you’ve been working on.””
Sure, that happens all the time.
The nice thing about FCP is that even if you DO (accidentally or intentionally) stop a render, it KEEPS what you’ve done up to the point of the stop. So you don’t lose any time for stopping.But there are many times, when there is only one effect chosen or there IS only one un-rendered effect, and it seems to take eons to render, that if I stop it and immediately start the render again and FCP then takes off like a rabbit.
I can have various other apps open, or not, doesn’t seem to matter.
(I think that just alerts “Mac” the Gerbil to the fact that I want my render… NOW!!) -
[jmf] “So far I’m having better luck finding an uplink that can a firewire interface than miniDV decks.”
In your city?
Or are you needing to SHIP the HD to them somewhere else?If they are in town, could you make an appointment, and take them your camera with the tape and stay as they dub it to a format they have in-house?
