I have M1008.2.2 and have noticed that having both the Component and S video cables attached to the Source and to the Junction box gives you a hotter signal whether you’ve set the m100 to component or S video but have never had “too hot” issues on the way out of M100. Kind Regards, Chris K

Hey Scott, Make sure the “exhaustive media search” is checked in the M100>Preferences>Media panel. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, Chris K.

Thanks Floh!

Hey Kieran, The project is for an in-house broadcast. Can you elaborate on M100 (8.2.2) color correction tools. Haven’t used them before for broadcast material. How much quality is lost by going analog component out vs sdi. All material was dig’d at 300kb from various sources incl. beta sp, dvcam and dvd. Thanks for your input. Kind Regards, Chris K.

Thanks Floh! There’s nothing like doing something for the first time – under a deadline! Kind Regards, Chris

Excellent info! Thankyou!

I checked for that. I found a workaround by going into my dvcam deck via SVHS which made a dvcam tape – then firewire from deck to camera to create the minidv version (deck only does dvcam). With three destinations not getting signal – there’s got to be something wrong with the port. Thanks, Chris

I’ve been using M100 since 4.0 and think a name change would be a mistake. It’s like an airline company changing their name after a plane crashes. Well, M100 hasn’t had a crash – just a few “delays” on keeping up with the latest features. It also didn’t help that customer support was really expensive and difficult. When I started on M100, every Avid editor knew our product and that it cost 1/2 what their system did and our propietary boards had a better overall color/look to them. Then, FCP came along at a rediculously low price. Well, in the edit world – you get what you pay for. M100 shouldn’t turn their back on a rich history. The only people who don’t like our product – never will – whatever name you put on it. I can’t tell you how glad I am that Boris took over. Hey, I’m still going to have to buy a whole new system when I upgrade my macs – but now I know I’ll be able to utilize the same incredibly friendly user interface and that I’ll be able to drag the old projects along with me. With just a little more tweaking, M100 will rival the best that’s out there – at a cost competative price. All Boris has to do is decide how competative they want to be and in what marketplace, then donate some software or classes to a few production schools and wait for the new generation of M100 owners to grow. When my next large prod. gets the greenlight – I’ll be upgrading to the new M100 generation to take advantage of a great product. By the way, I work in an office with 2 fully blown FCP bays and every editor that comes to work eventually pokes his head in my 2 M100 bays. First they look confused – then they sit down and start tinkering – and they always end up with a “Wow – this is so easy to use!” I just smile and remember that 10 years ago – I made the right decision – M100. Kind Regards, Chris

Thanks Tim, that did the trick. Kind Regards, Chris

Thanks Keiran. Both of those suggestions worked just fine. If we can’t get the masters back we’ll be forced to work backwards with this project. Any thoughs as to which process might cause the least compression/recompression. We will be going back to mpeg2 files but need to edit the current ones. Thanks, Chris
