Thanks. For the Avid we use the old Avid RAID SCSI drives. As we move forward obviously more HD will be introduced its just a matter of which camera we decide on. So for now I’m leaning towards the SATA drives.
The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.

So the friendly folks at Boris finally found it. I’m not crazy after all.

I’ll second the B&H recommendation and in fact most of the time thier prices are in line if not cheaper than most. Usually thier package deals are untouchable by anybody.

I tried this so now I’m calling Boris to se if I can get the email resent to me. Problem is the user story had some detail but not exact detail so I will still have to figure out some of it.

Hmm..I already tried that and the video was rotated and distorted. No matter what I tried to do it seemed to make it worse.

Very close! Thank you. Only thing left is to figure out how he got the video to match the open C. The finished effect looked like an open C with thickness and glass material (this part was easy). The glass material made it so you could see matching video like the video was projected onto the curved glass behind it.

Thanks! I’ll have to look into that DVD. I have a feeling the review and the other user review on the Apple site didn’t quite understand the organization process.

Russ,
Thanks for the reply. On the Apple site when you configure the MacPro you can throw in up to four different sized drives. Knowing that to stripe RAID they have to be the same size I should just go with four 750’s then?? Or just one 500 for the programs and such and three 750’s. I’m already planning on the new IoHD, I have dealt with AJA before and they are fantastic. -
It would probably help to tell you guys what direction I’m going in. After doing events, weddings, etc. for many years I’ve been fortunate to have worked on a few documentaries, a number of commercials, freelanced on a number of pro projects and freelanced with ESPN for the past year. So now I have made some good connections and I plan on moving away from the weddings and such into more commercials, corporate and other higher end projects. Inevedably people are going to ask for HD so I’m trying to future proof myself now instead of waiting until its too late.

Like I said I’ve been editing SD for years since Sony tried to have a system called the ES3. Back in the day things didn’t change so fast as they do now. My Avid system that was once 30k and near the top is now worth 7k if I’m lucky and near the bottom. HD has moved in quicker than I thought it was going to so I’m just trying to at least future proof myself better than where I’m at now.
