Thanks, and yeah, on second thought I hope this never duplicates!

As for the panasonic deck, the YPbPr out worked by default both for DVD and VHS and was also listed on the deck’s tech specs.

Thanks again

Problem is now solved, I am already capturing 625i uncompressed 10bit for 45 minutes flawlessly so far.
Now the problem is that I don’t know what the problem was and cannot repeat it… If anybody has encountered similar issues, please let me know..

Extremely informative stuff, thanks so much, now you certainly got me thinking and I desperately feel like I need to do some more research..

best regards

Hi!

Yes, computer noise, ventilation and clean power distribution have already been taken into account, but what about kelvin light temperature, CRI and lux numbers?

thanks again

Well “stuff” is stuff anyway be it on a G5 or Laptop+Magma, I don’t see much more “Stuff” introduced. You could probably even get away without a keyboard and mouse ford hard cut editing, plus I don’t see any hubs, I even see weight advantages in this approach.

Believe me, I have done serious audio recording, critical audio projects on a powerbook/667/onyx, running OS 9, with a considerable amount of outboard gear and 8 mics, in situattions where a G5 wouldn’t go unless you have a second G5 backup machine for safety.. I don’t see why serious uncompressed HD work, couldn’t be handled similarly using a laptop.. I beleive you missunderstoud my point here that was about a) compatibility and bandwidth issues, b) a way to get away of the G5 for tight and hairy situations, c) I never implied that I wouldn’t use a rack on wheels for the rest of the “stuff”, I just wouldn’t have to squeeze and “saw” a G5 in there. I believe I could just leave our Quad in the studio and carry less weight by getting a second hand PBook 17″ for the road and rack the magma in a much smaller flight case along with our Kona and Raid enclosure. Easy man

I really don’t see the “stuff” factor as a flaw. I believe that “all this crap hanging from your system” as you say is probably hanging from your G5 anyway. Again, never implied that a flight case wouldn’t be used.

Any other approaches, ideas or workarounds?

Thanks and sorry if this still seems crazy, maybe it’s late but I still think it could work for tight situations (if the PCI bandwidth is not an issue).

Speaking of bandwidth, I believe that it’s more than clear that this was the essence of my post, which was food for thought – intended anyway.

Thanks

Magma web site quote:

“Our 64-bit 2 Slot accommodates two full-length 64-bit PCI cards, and also has a drive bay specially designed so you can add internal SCSI or FireWire disk drives. Although communication to the host computer with be in a 32-bit mode, communication inside the expansion system is available in 64-bit mode, thus enhancing various applications.”

My question is if this could benefit uncompressed capture, using two internal HDD as RAID pair

What about Red Giant’s – Magic Bullet Editor’s ? Although I believe that it processes video only in terms of “looks” and doesn’t change “motion”

I am not shure if their Magic Bullet Suite for After Effetcs that is capable of 24p could work for you..
