David,
The composer of that song was actually Vangelis.
I still remember buying the soundtrack from “Year of Living Dangerously” that strangely did not include my favorite song in the whole movie, also written by Vangelis. I guess the producers of that album didn’t pay Vangelis his copyright fees!BTW, seeing that old MAC clip also reminds me of the messianic cult brought about (as you can hear from the screams of the audience faithful) the regrettable tunnel-vision cult of the MacIntosh faithful, which unfortunately still lives on today.

Actually I don’t take it the wrong way. It actually makes sense to me. I haven’t worked with DV footage pretty much for over 4 years now, and most of the people on this forum probably don’t either. There have been many other posts about firewire machine control for DV capture not working properly in FCP lately. It is very probable the support for the “legacy codecs” is failing and/or broken. The new holy grail is the RED codec, and both Apple and Adobe are focusing on the new paradigm, not the old dead ones. Even HDV is pretty much dead in the water at this point, and most editors will say good riddance to that format as well.

I actually do think there is something squirrely going on with the DV codec in the latest version of FCP. I just had someone bring me some DV clips that are the proper frame size and audio bit rate for DV and will still not play back properly in a FCP DV sequence. They import fine into the DV FCP timeline with no rendering needed, but the audio is way out of sync. They play back fine within the Quicktime player, and they play back fine and perform perfectly in a CS4 PPro DV timeline. Since I almost always work with HD P2 footage, I have never seen this problem before. I do think that the DV codec is busted in the latest version of FCP.

GH is right, the thing that should impress your clients is a good reel.
Anyone who has to rely on trophies to try and impress clientele should join SAG.Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

You will probably have to buy Canon’s decoder program for the MAC for about $100.00 (free on Windows). I have a client with the same problem using PPro CS4.

Yes, this is indeed the future of HD capture formats/cards.

And from all the reports, MAC EXPO was quite a drag this year. No Steve and no new announcements.

Go the Firestore route. I use it for 3-4 hour performance events all the time. No swapping out P2 cards and dumping data during intermission! Also use the Quicktime mode and not the P2 mode.
