Two products:
DV Date – https://dve.teletex.ru/en/dvrecdate.shtml
Some people on the Adobe board LOVE this plug-in… they still have not gotten back to me about some of the questions I sent in, but many people have reported very easy to use features and promising results. I think you can download a demo and then purchase for $20 if you like it.Timecode Frame Generator – https://www.2writers.com/download.htm
This one is FREE to use, but if you like it, please make a donation! I’ve used it once or twice, but I’ve had problems with the timecode matching up perfectly with the PPro timeline’s timecode, usually drifts off by a few frames here and there, both on the drop and non-drop timecodes. I think this is manily due to the frame rate of DV at 29.97, but if you can deal with those minor glitches, this is a great solution. -

I remember reading about the Panny dump drive awhile back and I do recall there was mention of an option to record directly to that drive instead of the P2 cards, but that may have changed by now. Until the products go into production, we will all have to wait and see the true specs and performace capabilities.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop… it’s a Pentium-M 2.0ghz, 60gb 7200rpm internal hard drive, 1GB ram, 1680×1050 screen, running Win XP Pro with SP2, PPro 1.5.1 and a bunch of other “usual” video and audio programs (Audition, Encore, Photoshop, etc). I’m MORE than happy with the performance of this laptop. It easily competes with the P4 3.2ghz desktop I used to use daily. Since I’m traveling a lot more, I find that this laptop solution works great for my needs. Normal editing and daily functions are just as speedy as a desktop. I have found that rendering to MPEG-2 is about equal to a P4 2.8 or 3.0ghz. I usually let all those longer encodes go overnight or while at lunch.

Nevermind… I’m going to be waiting on that one for a long time. But the “blanks” are only $1.00 USA dollars each? It’s worth considering (maybe).

I would not call Audition and Premiere “fully integrated” by any means. I’m hoping that in verison 2.0 Adobe will let you do a true multitrack audio edit of your Premiere projects in Audition just by opening up the project or timeline file. That would be full integration…
I used Soundforge for quite a long time, I think version 4 was the first I installed. Nothing too drastic has changed. I’ve used version 8 and it’s basically the same as 7 with a few new features that are kinda cool and the interface was cleaned up a bit.
I’ve really started using Audition a lot more. I’m working on my first full Audition project right now, mostly because I recently learned about the DirectX support and how you can use all of the effects and tools that Soundforge has within Audition – like Wave Hammer. To my knowledge, Audition does not have it’s own version of Wave Hammer and to tell you the truth, that was the only reason I was even using Soundforge any more (at least for finishing or prior to importing into multitrack). Now I just have Soundforge installed and use Audition with all the effects that Soundforge used to give me.
Audition’s single track editor takes some getting used to, but overall I think it’s an awesome program with a lot of power.

Umm, you’re not going to find too many of them these days. Adobe has discontinued the practice of bundling their software with hardware basically due to people buying them, unbundling them, and selling each piece as seperate units.
ADS Tech used to sell a “PYRO AV Link Professional API-752” bundle (https://www.adstech.com/products/API-752/intro/api752intro.asp?pid=API-752) and a “PYRO AV Link Professional MPEG Edition API-755” bundle (https://www.adstech.com/products/API-755/intro/api-755_intro.asp?pid=API-755), but my understanding is that these products are no longer being produced.
I know you can go to CWOL.com and find the left-over units of the API-755 bundle, but they may be limited in stock (https://www.cwol.com/firewire/pyro-pro-mpeg-edition.htm). I know they have run out of the API-752’s and they will not be getting any more.
Some other ADS Tech resellers may have some left-over units.

that’s a really good idea… they are small enough too, so they’d be perfect for archiving if they are reliable. any price guestimates at how much the drives will run? will they be external devices? I’m thinking that I could use a few of these to hand to a client after a shoot with all the footage, like many of them want a tape at the end of the day, instead hand them a card or two. It’s an interesting scenario for data management and distribution, but I will not use it for acquisition.

I read about these things in a PC magazine a few months back. The main drawback that I remember reading was that aren’t expected to have fast speeds (something that the P2 cards will capable of), nor are they expected to have the reliability (something else that the P2 card will be capable of, hopefully).
I’m still looking to find the “Sandisk” or other manufacturer version of P2 cards. Look at Sony Memory Sticks… Sandisk makes the same speeds and faster speeds at a pretty decent price drop compared to the Sony brand versions. I’d expect some tape manufacturers (ie, Fuji) to come out with some P2 media cards that are fractions of the price and possibly even greater capacity. Though, we all know this probably will not happen right away. But give it 2-3 months and someone will start making them.

Thanks for the explanation of your solution. I tried it, and it works. Nice to see you can get the video “preview” of sorts as frames in the multitrack view.
Changing my workflow to an audio edit prior to my video edit just doesn’t make much sense to the type of work I do. So unfortunately, this will not work well for me the majority of the time. However, it is nice to know that I can export my final edited DV AVI and still bring it into Audition for accurate audio enhancement if I ever need to.
Thanks.
