yes I do.

Is that a problem?

Should I uninstall it?

first of all I really appreciate the late night help!

the log and transfer window never generates any error message. it simply doesn’t mount the P2 volume.

[Chris Baldwin]

no. it isn’t named anything different. the clips say incomplete though.

do you use Compressor or QT conversion to do this and do you make it for Iphone Local or I phone qvga?

thanks!

Usually I export a 640×360 for 16:9 files or a smaller version at 426×237.

Compressor only gives a few options and it asks you 4:3 or 16:9.

480×270(local) and 320×180(Qvga)

Which is a side question…What’s the difference?

What’s that? The EX1 has less noise than the HVX?? Its about 3 stops faster???

From that alone I’d say it wins over the HVX… nevermind the amazing improvements of sdi and timecode out…

2 Questions

1.) You mentioned problems importing. what is the workflow like with FCP?

2.) How well do you think the two cameras could be cut together?

thanks for posting.

“and then use the eSata to do to decks with the AJA Io.”

Sorry I’m curious what you meant by the above part of your post?

[Chris Baldwin]

Small question here.

So the Exabyte, using Retrospect, can write the data and retrieve it in a way that means you don’t have to re-import the entire contents of the tape?

So are you archiving the original P2 disk images or are you archiving the mxf stripped versions of the files?(ie QT in FCP)

How does the tape interface with NLE programs like FCP? Do you need to transfer the tape contents to a hard drive and then import the clips into FCP or can FCP’s log and transfer tool read the data directly from the tape?

Last little question…

Isn’t there a model that can connect via a sata cable? You have hard drive enclosures out there with 4 interfaces, it sure would be nice to have that near 3fold jump in transfer speeds.

thanks

Hi Noah thanks for the input.

So I am glad to hear that I don’t need two laptops. I can offload in the field through my mac g4 powerbook to a firewire Mac os journaled hard drive,

THEN duplicate that to another hard drive formatted Fat32, daisy chained to the first hard drive, and give the PC based Avid clients a drive their computer can read and while retaining a back up of their content on my OS journaled hard drive that my macs can read

OR that I can again duplicate to another Fat32 formatted hard drive for them if they needed it again for some reason? …

AND I can do this all through my Mac computers?

I don’t need two laptops is what I’m hearing?

Thanks for one more post on this matter as I just want to finalize the query.
