Sean,
Take a look at the seritek 4 bay units at http://www.firmtek.com. I have their two bay unit and it has a fan that is virtualy silent. Firmtek is a California company BTW, and your stuff will be shipped to you very inexpensively via UPS ground normally within just 24 hours.

Very very strange.

In theory yes… Does that mean yes in reality??? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Sometimes presets or codecs are released with bugs.
What’s your objective?

In that case, somehow your field dominance has been switched. As I recall, some of the VBR encoding presets are buggy. Try changing to CBR encoding and see if that fixes things. If not, swap field order dominance of your video and try that.

Both are for the creation of high definition DVDs, which currently can only be played from a computer hard drive, as HD DVD players and media are not on the market yet. Not certain what the diference is between the two, but I would bet that Compressor 2 has an updated and more efficient codec.

Digibeta is interlaced, lower field dominant, and unless you somehow changed that setting by accident, you should not have to concern yourself with interlacing or deinterlacing. Are you looking at the video on your computer monitor rather a broadcast monitor? If so, then you will certainly see interlacing, especially upon movement. Ignore that, it will not be evident on a TV or broadcast monitor.

You’re correct Matte, but what my answer lacked in precision it gained in timeliness…

In the browser you select the bin you want and right click on select capture bin.

Frank,
Frankly, I have never understood all the problems reported on this forum with regard to importing and animating stills. I do it all the time and never have problems other than the occasional scan line flicker that invariably happens in both line art and photos with crisp horizontal lines. I have dedicated programs on the PC side for animation of stills, such as the wonderful DigiRostrum, but FCP does such a fine job that I hardly ever use it anymore. Although JPEGs are not the ideal still format, because they use a somewhat lossy compression, I am using many JPEGs in a DV show right now that were delivered to me in that format, and they are fine. I would suggest that yu import a few and test them, but I thnk you’ll encounter no problems.

[Wayne K.] “But what if there is a flash-frame, or a section of the video you missed?”
Wayne,
Part of the job is not to miss these things. Its the responsibilty of both the online editor and the client to QC (quality control) everything, and experienced editors should be able to see even a single flash frame. There are hardware devices that can do just about any job you want, but there’s no substitute for experienced and dilligent eyeballs.
