Rolli,
Why are you STILL recording to P2 format on your Firestore. Use QT mode and your problems are over…

Whatever time and money he put into this demo, it is going to come back to him many times in terms of new business and publicity.
The problem with this approach is the client who sees this and says: That is fantastic work!
“Can you duplicate that for me for $500.00??”True, but sad, story.
Even with a very good demo, you need clients who can pay to play.

I tried installing the Kona LH 6.03 drivers on my G5 Tiger 10.4.11 machine today (latest FCP), and it didn’t work. After rebooting, it came up with the red “hardware offline” message in the AJA Control panel. Since I had a project I was working on I just went back to 6.02 with no problems. I’m just glad the 6.03 uninstaller worked!

Again there were different divisions within the company.
The FS side is doing fine.
Regardless, it won’t affect this person’s desire to order a working FS today. I have had mine since the very first HVXs started shipping years ago, and haven’t had a problem with either one of mine yet.Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

Very sad indeed.
Maybe the Orphan-exes should move to Atlanta and work for Walter. He seems to be the only one I know now who always seems to have more work than he can handle.
Oh, except a recent article on MSN had the 10 most “depressing, unhappiest” cities in the U.S. to live in, and Atlanta was #10, right behind Cincinnati. Ouch!!

Shane pretty much nailed it.
The FS is absolutely great for long continuous shoots (performances) and also does very well on film shoots. It is not good for “run and gun” or lots of “in field” running hand-held shooting. And the FS part of Focus is fine, it was the server/rack equipment side that got decapitated.Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

The FS records “Pn” in both QT and P2, but does the frame conversion itself. The HVX camera setting still has to be in 24P (or 30P/60P).

There isn’t an uninstaller available on the MAC like on the Windows version, right? Do you still have to trash the entire older RED 4.3 folder, or can you install the 4.3.2 on the Mac keeping the 4.3 folder?
Also the reason I asked about the RED Continuum filters versus the Continuum 6 is, I installed C6 before installing the new RED 4.3.2 upgrade on the Windows Vista machine, and it looked like it said it was “fixing permissions” for all the BCC filters while they were installing from the RED upgrade. Do you have to reinstall C6 after upgrading RED to 4.3.2??Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

I think Raven is confusing (herself?) with all the options. Again with the FS, you can’t have the camera set to the Pn mode. Actually the 30P and 60P do come in as 59.94, the default 1080i does indeed come in at 29.97. Raven actually said that in an earlier post. There also seems to be a lack of basic knowledge of FCP going on here as well, as Raven didn’t know how to render a QT out of FCP. That probably means (she?) also might have the wrong (if any) FCP Easy set-up selected in her sequence, which of course will also affect what she is doing and seeing in her “experimentation.”
