I laughed when he said the KONA Card because that’s like the dream setup.
Anyone would die for it.

When I say powermac I meant G5 2.7ghz
When I say imac I am talking about intel core 2 duo
about the compressor setting mpeg 2 5.0 mbps 2pass

I guess it blows down to faster cpu…
Other option is a cluster.

Shane… that’s funny output in real time… I like that.
But on a budget not to say anything under 200 but lets say under 2grand
What else could one do if projects just have to get down as they come in?

I mean the 2.7 is no slouch I can still use the system as it encodes.
But I know the powermac has to have more strength to it, or is it that
it can take the load and no buckle?

So you are all saying at a 2.7ghz powermac with 4gigs of RAM is slow
seeing as how the encoding of a DVD 1hr 30mins takes 2hrs+?

I would like to see dvd’s done in 1hr maybe 45mins

I must admit my imac 2ghz with 1.5gigs seems faster but it’s not like woahhh it more like 20mins or so…

My question then is what would all of you do in a situation where you wanted more out of your hardware?

So you’re saying the more I RAID (2 vs. 4 drive)
the faster my render times and encoding?

Wow yea this Harddrive stuff is very interesting and I’m glad I took
the time to stay on creative cow and just read.

Now being that I am starting my business
have a few clients here and there, but I’d like
to really go corporate soon.

How important is an xserve?

How do you do 8bit and 10bit files on the time line?

Well actually I was trying to go as in-expensive as possible at $499 for a drive enclosure that’s rather expensive… Nothing else is out there?
I thought there were SATA cards, and all I’d need was an enclosure to house the 2 drives…

I’m completely lost as to what you guys are talking about…

What’s this pull down thing… and is he trying to get ride of the interlacing lines?

Client has a 2.7 powermac… and they have just about run out of harddrive space… So they just ordered 2 maxtor sata drives 400gig each.

Turns out the Mac is already maxed out in terms of adding
more harddrives… So what should I do?

Buy a Sata card?
If so which one?

And I would also need harddrive enclosure… Which one?

What other options do I have?
