Precisely my thoughts! The maximum free space I can make is 10Gb on the 111 Gb drive of my MacBook Pro. According to Macworld I need a couple of networked G5s to convert, so I wont bother with a Natress plugin, I’ll use a copyshop.
On a different tack can anyone explain why, when I de-interlace freeze frames, then burn the disk, I find that some of the frames have magically re-interlaced themselves? Never had this prob. before, only difference is I am now storing all the timeline and compressed media on a seperate HD.
Thanks!

Thank you for your swift reply. What I described as jointing fits well with your description of “banding” – an occasional corruption running horizontally across the screen and about half way up. There is also a slight slow motion effect.
Audio is displayed on the FCP audio bars but no audio is heard either on the camera o/p or on the computer.
Just got the free use of a DSR next week! I feel fairly confident that that will solve the prob!
For future reference, I guess there must be a way of forcing the DSR to record in DV mode which would then make rushes playable on my XM2
Thanks again!
