i shot a feature with that same rig. i used 6.0 and had no issues to report of. my system is up to date quad g5 with 6 gigs of ram.
for capture there is a DVCPRO HD 1080 setting to use and then select the 1080 24p under the next drop down, pretty simple
i remember having to tweak an issue with frames repeating and creating a horrible look when the camera panned – i forgot the specific setting, but basicly the end product had filed the 29.97 product with repeat frames.
haha, during capture – the local panavision plus 8 here in houston said “good luck with that ” as they didnt have the systems for the 1080×1920 image i was working with
i had hell with some of the externals when it came to capturing / mastering. I used 3 lacie 2tb drives dasie chained on fw800. in the begining captures looked fine, and then i would get drop out and sync isues later. (we capped 99 tapes)
i beefed up the internal hd to 4tb and would capture and transfer at night.
during extended captures, give your hoss a break to prevent errors from overheating.
hmmm other advice? shoot me an email if you want some screen shots of the settings
