You’ll have the same issue. There’s no escaping it.

This is not rendering, it is conforming.

Greg,
It’s called “Conforming,” and it’s a fact of life when dealing with Long-GOP video such as XDCAM and HDV.

Hmmm….I am using AAC 44.1 khz.

Once again, why so expensive? The 8x Pioneer can be had for around $250.

Yes, it is an amazing little unit. I use it for trade shows and also store my HD demos to screen for clients. I have had the best luck with m2t files. I cannot seem to get h.264 to work. I get video but no audio.
Try downloading one of the Quicktime movie trailers and see if you get audio.
Interestingly enough, it plays my native XDCAM-EX files, but, again no audio. I have been told that it will also play native HDV. -
Well, thank you Sean. That clears up a lot of questions. One more, if you don’t mind…
Will any drive work. The 8x Panasonic looks goo, and I guess the Pioneer is working for you. Does the Fastmac have some kind of magic that justifies a $580 price tag for a 4x drive? -
I’ve just researched several articles on this, and what a bunch of conflicting advice! One article says that the MacPro optical bays are IDE, not SATA, and you have to buy a special SATA adaptor to plug into the back of your drive. Another article says that the SATA cables are right there, ready to plug into your drive. Still yet another article says that you have to buy a SATA cable and pull a bunch of stuff out of the machine in order to access the SATA ports on the mother board. Now that sounds like a major pain in the fanny. I don’t know which of these methods is correct. Hopefully, you won’t mind setting me straight on this. I’d much rather have an internal than an external drive.

It’s not in the article. He told me that in person.

The person who told me this was Bruce Nazarian who wrote the article, “Taming the Wild Blu Yonder,” which can be found on Ken Stone’s site.
